Hi I'm using Apache 1.3.33 on Debian system. Server runs behind an ADSL modem/router with dynamic IP. I use perl cgi and mod_perl (I use extension .cgm the tell apache when something is mod_perl rather than plain cgi). To autheticate a small group of users I use a very simple .htaccess file : AuthType Basic AuthName "PROTECTED PAGE" AuthUserFile /home/someone/path/to/users Require valid-user and the file users is a perfectly normal password file Mostly this works absolutely fine. But occasionally one of my users has trouble logging in. In the logs I can see : [Mon Oct 3 08:08:09 2005] [error] [client 220.237.229.210] user whoever not found: /path This is 15 or 20 times over the space of a few minutes. Usually she has no trouble. I can't see any other events happening at the same time that might give a clue. I am able to login myself with no problems. has anyone any idea of issues that might cause some kind of intermittent problem like this?
