Hi Zachary, why is htaccess not working with cgi? Can you point to the documentation where this is stated? You could also put the authentication config in your server configuration and override the BOINC settings.
Running the webserver as boincadm may have other sideeffects because some BOINC components make assumptions from ownership. Mainly the file deleter and antique file deleter.
