When attempting to login to the admin account, I get promted for a
username/password. I enter admin/admin (default password for admin is admin,
according to the docs I have), and I get an authorization failed dialog

I execute, "locate .htaccess" and get
/var/www/cgi-bin/webcal/protected/.htaccess
Cat /var/www/cgi-bin/webcal/protected/.htaccess shows
AuthUserFile /var/webcal/.htpasswd
AuthName WebCal
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
/var/webcal/.htpasswd shows entries for nobody, admin, usholiday, tpw, Temporary
tpw and Temporary are names f calendars that I set up.

I execute, "locate apache|grep user" and nothing gets listed.

Seems to me like it should work. Could it be a firewall problem? Permissions
issue? host.allow/host.deny problem?
