Upon re-reading this message, I find there was something about which I was extremely unclear and ambiguous. I said that the access to the password-protected area wasn't working, but failed to specify just what wasn't working. The problem is that Apache isn't asking for the password, and letting anyone browse this directory. Sorry for having inadvertently omitted this major piece of information.
