thanks glen - looks like this is still not working.  No password Prompt

here is what I did:

cat of /usr/home/<user_name>/public_html/<subdir>/.htaccess

--- snip ---

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/home/<username>/public_html/<subdir>/.htpasswd
AuthName "Protected Area"
require user glob

--- snip ---

now cat of /usr/home/<username>/public_html/<subdir>/.htpasswd

--- snip ---

glob:uKRB.ktQoL./I

--- snip ---

and now the file permissions

--- snip ---

ls -al .ht*
-rw-r--r--  1 <username>  <username>  124 Apr 18 21:33 .htaccess
-rw-r--r--  1 <username>  <username>   19 Apr 18 21:34 .htpasswd

--- snip ---

Please somebody hand me a clue stick?

from the /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

--- snip ---

AccessFileName .htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
# Web clients.  Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
# information, access is disallowed for security reasons.  Comment
# these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of
# .htaccess files.  If you change the AccessFileName directive above,
# be sure to make the corresponding changes here.
#
# Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password
# files, so this will protect those as well.
#
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
