Pick up the latest release of Apache from "www.apache.org".  I believe it's
newer than the one that came with FreeBSD 2.1.  Apache's up to 1.0.0,
officially, and 1.0.1 unofficially; FreeBSD 2.1 shipped with Apache 0.8.14,
I believe.  There were more than a few patches between those version; maybe
one of them fixes your problem.  (I seem to recall a password fix being
among them, but don't quote me.)  Apache builds cleanly on FreeBSD straight
out of the "box."
