The "require" directive should be followed by "user" or "group" and a
space-delimited list of users or groups:
require user agreene jdoe omaqsood
require group marketing sales
In either case, the user must be listed in the file you specified in the
AuthUserFile directive. If you use "require group" then you must also
include the AuthGroupFile directive to specify the group file. The group
file should include a groupname and a space-delimited list of users:
marketing: user1 user2 user3
sales: user1 user2 user3
If Apache finds the username in the authorized group it checks the password
in the specified AuthUserFile. You can use both "require user" and "require
group" in a single directory, but you will have to include the "satisfy any"
directive so that a user may match either directive.

If it's too good to be true, it's probably Linux.
