Hi Matt

Ok, problem solved! Looks like Apache must be configured to use HTTP authentication on the directory containing the CGI files, not the repositories. Which seems to be the cause of my problems. Quite obvious - at least now, when I have figured it out :-)

Thanks a lot for helping me with this, it is highly appreciated......
