    Hey guys,

    got a little question here regarding htaccess.

    I'm setting up .htaccess files to facilitate user-authentication for nagios (which I am well out of my depth with .. but anyway)

    I'm just wondering if this syntax is correct: 
    AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user

    or does the AuthUserFile string need to be in commas, etc?

    D'ya know, it's been so long since I used htaccess I actually had to go and look. The shame. But anyway, yes, it's fine. Quotes are recommended these days in Apache confs, but not required. (I don't use 'em.)

    Why are you out of your depth?

    HTH

    Oh, just with nagios. It's rather large and detailed (as regards the finer points of network workings).

    Some of the work I'm having to do here in work I just feel is WELL above my current linux skill-level, and at times feel like I'm in the deep-end of the pool without inflatable arm-bands :D

    So it's taking me ages to get what would be quite small tasks done (which i don't like - cause I feel inefficient because of it)

    Anyway, rant over and cheers for the help Adam :)

    Know the feeling, only not just with Linux. (Although I have been tested well past my limits a few times.) I've had Windows servers, local networking, outside networking, SNMP, Oracle, FreeBSD, mcal, ICAP and a fair few other things I haven't a clue about thrown at me in the past six months. Sadly, I kinda enjoy it, because I'm left to figure things out on my own for the most part, and if I say "sorry, I haven't a bulls notion what you're talking about", people seem to understand.

    God Bless Mammy and Daddy and Google. :)
