OK - on investigation it ain't apachectl. It is httpd. I ran httpd -t 
and it complained about FooBar Nonsense too.

So - we are definitely reading the conf files. That means ...

1. I'm not reaching the right directory - Yes I am. 100% sure.

2. Some sort of caching? 100% no way. I've tried four different browsers 
on three different machines.

3. Apache is reading the conf but ignoring the directive for some reason

What else do I need for Basic Auth to work?

As it happens, I have subversion running via apache on that machine and 
when I access it from a foreign machine it asks me to authenticate. I 
have copied subversion.conf below. Maybe I should copy that?

Modules? I deleted all files in /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d and restarted 
the computer whereupon we got a brand-new loadmodule.conf ...
