Hi!

When I protect a directory like this:

IN TELNET I TYPE:

cd ../../web/nederlands/gcc/login
pwd
/home/sites/site150/web/nederlands/gcc/login/

NO IN FTP I'LL UPLOAD THE .HTACCESS FILE WITH THIS CONTENT:
# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
Authname secure
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site150/web/nederlands/gcc/login/.htpasswd
AuthPAM_Enabled off

<limit GET>
require user client88
</limit>

BACK IN TELNET I TYPE:
/usr/web/htpasswd -c .htpasswd client88
open <- password
open <- again
exit <- shutdown TELNET

When I go to the directory which I've just protected:
http://www.daemonix.nl/nederlands/gcc/login and don't enter the username
and don't enter the password but just hit the CANCEL BUTTON and in my
browser (IE 5.5) and hit the BACK BUTTON and next the FORWARD BUTTON
I can access the protected directory without having to use a username or
password. What did I do wrong and is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,
