Thanks for your reply Jeff (and Dan LaLiberte too). We fixed the server configuration (conf/access.conf). We are running NCSA httpd 1.1, and our initial set up of:
<Directory /export/home/web_1.1/htdocs/hn>
 
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", or "FollowSymLinks"
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .shtml


# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "None", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
 
AllowOverride All
 
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .gov
allow from meridian.ngdc.noaa.gov
allow from meridian
allow from localhost
</Limit>
 
</Directory>

Wasn't working. So we tried changing the Limit part to:
 
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>

And this did work. It seems the first attempt should have worked, but perhaps it's an HTTPd bug (I know that the current version is 1.5a), but upgrading the server isn't scheduled until we upgrade the OS too (Solaris 2.4) and that may be some time off. -Ken
