I found that module, but it's not quite clear to me how to use it. the mod_auth_sys.c file show up in green, which indicates executable code. The other modules in the apache source modules directory are not code this way. Also, the instructions say the module is called by adding Module sys_auth_module mod_auth_sys.o to the config file. Is the mod_auth_sys.o file going to be generated during the apache build process? Otherwise, how will that line work? Finally, where do I find the name to pass the the --enable command? The readme mentioned some string located in the .c files for each module, but I can't seem to find it. regards, shane.
