What method are you referring to besides .htaccess?  How are doing 
access control from the httpd.conf?

Have you tried the above and verified whether it works or not?

BTW, looks like you are running your own server and thus I would suggest 
to changes perms to 400 and ownership to the uid of the apache user, on 
the passwd and the .htaccess (if any) file(s).
