I am trying to setup an access protection at a particular 
subdirectory using CERN httpd server. I put these lines in the server 
configuration file :

Protection SECRET {
     UserID  www
     GroupID  All
     AuthType  Basic
     ServerID   SecretServer
     PasswdFile  /local/Web/setup/passwd.protected
     GroupFile  /local/Web/setup/group.protected
     GetMask   All@(*.imac.georgetown.edu)
    }

Protect   /local/Web/protect/*     SECRET

Note: 
- File passwd.protected is the file I created using htadm
- File group.protected is www : All

Can anybody answer these questions :
It didn't prompt my username and password when I tried to access the 
directory /local/Web/protect/*.html. Why?
What are UserID and GroupID do exactly with the content of the 
GroupFile?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
