Forgot all about that - I originally had the lines...

AuthName "Hobbit Monitoring"

Then I added the 1, 2 and 3 to the ends of them to identify/confirm where
the secondary and tertiary logins were coming from (obviously, the Alias
statements =)

There was no change before/after the number after the AuthName

Josh,

Secondly, there are three different "virtual directories" requiring the
three different authentication statements.  The problem is that there
are now three places to login at, the /hobbit and /hobbit-cgi and
/hobbit-cgisec and it gets very irritating.  I don't mind logging in
once, but when you navigate through pages and have to login again for
the same application is looks pretty ridiculous.
  AuthName "Hobbit Monitoring1"
  AuthName "Hobbit Monitoring2"
    AuthName "Hobbit Monitoring3"
And that's what Buchan wanted to point out: why do you use three
different AuthNames? Just use the same AuthName for your three alias
entries and everything will be fine. Your users only will have to
authenticate once.
