I don't think "require valid-user will work. According to some tutorials like
www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth it shoudl say require john_doe if john_doe is the
username you just added with htpasswd -c.
Is there a newsgroup or mailing list for Apache users? I looked around once already
and couldn't find it, maybe I just missed it.
