[prog] Getting Remote_User .htaccess (not working)

[Gareth Anderson]

Ok, tried this and got:

"
[Fri Nov 19 11:07:21 2004] [alert] [client 220.244.224.41]
/www/users/gja/.htaccess: Invalid command 'AuthLDAPHosts', perhaps
mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server
configuration
"

Maybe the module not installed correctly or something? Could that be possible?

Regards,
Gareth
