lynx-dev auth=username:password clarification requested

[Laszlo Girhiny]

I currently have apache configured to run on the same server as the
user shell accounts.

I have a directory that is protected by IP ( the ip of server is
automatically granted access ) and then by the standard username:password
login for other IPs.

This works fine, except that I would like the log files to reflect the
username of each access.  And I hoped that the -auth=username:password
option would work.  However, it doesn't.

Is there any way to accomplish this kind of tracking.  I could force
authentication from lynx, but this would be a double login ( first to
shell then to web site as lynx is launced at startup).  Very unpopular
with the users.

Thanks,

Laszlo
