Sorry, Nick, for not explaining the problem clearly.  The problem isn't the
lack of authentication, but what I thought was too permissive authorization.
Perhaps my understanding of LimitExcept is wrong, but I thought if I had a:

<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS> 
   Require user sean
</LimitExcept> 

that I shouldn't be able PUT or DELETE.  The log entries show that I was
able to do that--hence the problem.  I don't understand why I can PUT or
DELETE with the LimitExcept directive in place.  I simply want a webDAV
directory that is read-only by the user sean.

Thanks,
Sean
