OK, I read that, makes sense. So I changed Satisfy any to Satisfy all,
as it sounds like that requires all people to have to validate...but it
still let me in.
So then I added deny from all, no change.
Then deleted the Satify line altogether, no change.
I still think it has something to do with httpd.conf, but I can figure
out what.
