} I _think_ this might mean the server is using .htpasswd for the

Is this mode what is indicated by 'remote_user_mode__'? What made me suspect
remote access vs. local access was the use of this variable in addUser.dtml
as in:

<!--#if remote_user_mode__-->
  <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="password" value="password">
  <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="confirm"  value="password">
<!--#else-->
<TR>
  <TD VALIGN="TOP">
  <STRONG>Password</STRONG>
  </TD>
  <TD VALIGN="TOP">
  <INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD" NAME="password" SIZE="40">
  </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
  <TD VALIGN="TOP">
  <STRONG>(Confirm)</STRONG>
  </TD>
  <TD VALIGN="TOP">
  <INPUT TYPE="PASSWORD" NAME="confirm" SIZE="40">
  </TD>
</TR>
<!--#/if-->

I followed the instructions and suggestions previously posted on this list
for setting up the Apache access.conf file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^/Zope/Gamba_home/(.*)
/var/www/titan/markgamba.com/Zope.cgi/Gamba_home/$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]
^^^ above is one long line ^^^

<Directory "/var/www/titan/markgamba.com">
Options Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
</Directory>

Is this not correct?
