Did that ever get into Apache? We have a lot of .htaccess files and multiple webservers, so we can't just switch to AuthDBuserfile or AuthDBMUserfile as that will break the NCSA servers. We have 15,000 users in the database, so a flat file search is not on either. No mention of this is made in the compatibility pages, as far as I can find. It is in the O'Reiley book. I thought I saw it say somewhere else that it might be fixed at some stage. Yours John. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: A fix would help us swap over to Apache 1.3.
