Newbie question - authorization...

[Neil B. Cohen]

I'm experimenting with Nagios at home - I just joined a company that
uses it extensively in the field and I'll need to know how it works.

I've managed to install it, and I can get to the home page from my
(FireFox) web browser (on systems running FC5). So far, so good. I have
verified that I have a working config file.

If I start Nagios, things look ok, but I don't have the authorization
correct. I have added the entries in the Apache config file, and created
the .htaccess entries in the nagios directories. But when I point the
web browser at the nagios page, it does not ask for a login/password.
Then I get authorization failures when I try to look at the various
monitoring pages

This is really a browser issue, not nagios I think. But it isn't
something I've done before - can someone suggest what I might have set
up incorrectly or point me at what needs to be added?

thanks very much,

nbc
