Instead of wild guesses, how about how let us know what the
authentication-related sections of your webserver configuration
(especially any pertaining to Nagios) look like?

The answer to whether Apache will fall back to MySQL if it can't find a
.htaccess file are exactly equal to the chances it's configured to do
that.  Don't forget that most version of RHEL (and it would help to know
which you're running) place suplemental configs into /etc/httpd/conf.d.
Have you looked at those?

There's something strange about your setup.  I've never seen an
out-of-the-box Apache installation on any version of RHEL try to do
MySQL auth by default. Unfortunately, you're going to have to locate
that little bit of strangeness before we can help you fix it.
