>Description:
trying to setup authentication for certain pages. the documentation talks about 
naming a "REALM". what's a realm? I've been to apache.org, read all tha FAQ's,
read the debian docs and nothing. I'm sorry I had to use the bug report but 
there's no other way to talk about it.
>How-To-Repeat:
read the documentation on setting up user/password. in a file or using the DBM version
>Fix:
a coupl of sentences on what a realm is
