help with web and cgi authentication

[gb]

Hi,

I am running rh9 fully patched on intel, and have just installed nagios.
I have set up the web config as per the suggestions in the doco, but am
having some problems with the authentication. 

I have included the 2 stanza's in the httpd.conf file, I have set up a
.htaccess file as recommended and then generated the htpasswd.users file
as well, containing the names that will be using this monitor. nagios
itself is working just fine. As a long time user of netsaint, it wasn't
such a hard jump, and now my karma is much happier. ;)

However, when I fire up the web interface, I get a message 
"It appears as though you do not  have permission ..." blah blah blah.

When I see the "Logged in as " string, it contains a ? , not a real
name. Is this the problem? I am starting up an IE6 session on a windows
2000 box to attempt the web connection. I am not asked to log into the
web interface, so what have I done wrong?

thanks, Gillian
