nagios, appache, authentication help.

[logan]

I have installed nagios on my redhat 8 server, with apache. 
I created htpasswd.users file and used the htpasswd command to add users
and passwords. 
I set use_authentication=1 in cgi.cfg. 
And I put a .htaccess file in the following locations: /nagios,
/nagios/sbin, /nagios/share. 
I double checked all of the directory trees to make sure they are
pointing to the correct places.
 
The problem is, when I try to log on to my nagios web front
(http://localhost/nagios/, http://207.0.0.1/nagios/ or
http://MYIP/nagios/) I get the authentication popup box, but none of the
user/passwords work.
 
I could find no other information in the nagios documentary or the
apache docs. Please help.
 
TIA.
