Hi I have a new piece of info. I recently updated my sensord setup to
monitor temperature through the web and I am able to access this
cgi-bin/sensord.cgi script through the web.

As soon as I added the following to the httpd.conf file, I am no longer
able to access throught the internet (only internally).

<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Files"
    AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/passwords
    Require user xxxxxxxx
</Directory>

where xxxxxxx is my username..

The symptom is that the web browser never asks for name/passwd and never
times out.

Again this problem only cropped up after a dist-upgrade (didn't pay
attention to see if apache was upgraded).

This help anyone help me?

Thanks!
Eric
