font-family:Arial'>Chris, did you ever find out the cause of your permission
error? I am running Red Hat 8.0 and finding the same problem. I have also
followed the faq exactly. .htaccess files look good, httpd.conf edited
properly. Htpasswd.users file is correct. I’m wondering if it might be
some problem with apache under RH 8.0?</span></font></p>
