Thanks, I read through that... and I get it all... turns out I was
already using the right apache modules (I had set this up awhile ago and
just had no recollection of setting those up, in part because it was so
long ago and in part because Debian helped a lot)

Anyway... I even understand the access files which I need to create,
which is really the crux of the whole thing. But what I'm not seeing is
where to put these files or what to call them. May seem trivial, and I'm
sure it is... but I can't seem to find it in the docs.
