[Bug 1230194] Re: apache2 basic authentication rejects password

[jeremy-list]

If I do that it just makes Apache crash completely when I try to access the page. Which is not surprising because /etc/passwd is not in a format that Apache understands and doesn't even contain the hashed passwords
Please refer to the Apache documentation: it's possible I've made some kind of configuration error but using "AuthUserFile /etc/passwd" is clearly not going to work.
