Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, any replacement product I've looked at requires 
re-entry of all the calendar events.

S'posed to be plain old .htaccess and .htpasswd. I've tried creating a 
new .htpasswd file using the htpasswd command, but no luck :(

The httpd.conf file is the same as was used on FC2 (and FC1 and RHL 8.0).
I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and use a more modern, maintained 
(and free) web-based calendar. I've installed Webcalendar, 
http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php, and it looks promising. At least it can 
import and export .ics files...

Thanks, 
Tim
