Help for Apache module AuthenPasswd


I am trying to set up a website with request for username and password which will authenticate against RedHat 6.2 /etc/passwd logins and passwords.

I am using rpm Apache 1.3.12 with Mod_Perl 1.21 . I compiled the the AuthenPasswd module on the Mod_perl module. At each login, everytimes the error log says "bad password". The username and password was keyed in correctly.
hen i entered a wrong username, the error log says unknown user. This means it is authenticating...but just can't recognise the password.

I was wondering if there is anything i should change in the
( httpd.conf ) that will facilitate this login process ???

Any advise... pls help.

PS:

My .htaccess file.

AuthName "Protected Site"
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenPasswd
require valid-user
