Symptom
You are trying to use the authentification method of Apache by using
the file .htaccess. But that fails. In the log file
/var/log/httpd/error_log you find the following:
[Wed Jul 25 12:45:11 2001] [error] [client x.x.x.x] wm: not a valid FDN: /dir/
Cause
The package authldap, which is responsible for the authentification
via LDAP is installed. Also the package auth_nds can trigger that
error.
Solution
Uninstall these packages with YaST1 or YaST2. If you are deleting
these packages manually don't forget to run SuSEconfig!
