password protecting mod_throttle

This has been discussed in an old thread, but I am having issues with password protecting the throttle-status page, and was wondering if anyone could shed some more light on the subject.

I haven't been able to install AuthPAM in Slackware yet (if you have, I would love to know how), so I am facing using AuthType Basic.

Here is the pertinent excerpt from my httpd.conf:

<Location /throttle-status>
SetHandler throttle-status
AuthUserFile /Path/to/auth/file/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName Throttle
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
</Location>

This is all in the main server configuration section (not the virtual host section). Nothing really happens. No authentication dialog pops up, and everyone can view (*reset*) all the virtual domains back to zero, if they were so inclined. I have tried putting the same lines in a virtual host section, but when I do that I get a 404 not found error.

So, I guess the question is, has anyone here had success in configuring some sort of authentication scheme for the throttle-status portion of mod_throttle? If so, how?

Reagrds,

Jeff
