Are you saying you don't have REMOTE_ADDR?  That would be very
strange.  I've never seen that before, so if that is true, you should
probably take this up on a Redhat forum to see if it is something they
did.

Otherwise, the most likely explanation is that the CGI is not actually
protected by http authentication.  Try accessing the CGI script
directly (not through an html page) from a freshly-launched browser
and make sure you get the auth prompt.

See:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
Start by turning off selinux entirely to see if that makes any difference.
