See the apache docs on mod_auth, specifically:

A common use for this is in conjunction with one of the database modules; such as mod_auth_dbm, mod_auth_msql, and mod_auth_anon. These modules supply the bulk of the user credential checking; but a few (administrator) related accesses fall through to a lower level with a well protected AuthUserFile.

That may be so, but becoming comfortable with the Apache docs is an important skill. – Dana the Sane Sep 3 '11 at 16:59
