[gentoo-user] htaccess with userdir not working

[Henti Smith]

Hi all, 

I've setup a user Apache setup but for some reason I cannot htaccess
the cgi-bin in the one folder.

here is the details : 

.htaccess in /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd/user
AuthName "user"
require valid-user
satisfy any

httpd.conf 

<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
    Options ExecCGI
    SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

when I go to the cgi-bin for the user .. it runs the cgi without
probltping for user/.pass 

any ideas ?

Are the htaccess/htpasswd files readable by apache?
