There is a sork mailing list you might want to join/use also.

You will need that line, as it is outside of your document root.

Did you restart the web server after adding that?

If so, it may be a problem with your default permissions in your apache
configuration. That is, you usually set the / (default, whole site) permissions
really tight, then relax them for your document root or specific areas.

Since passwd isn't in your document root, it gets the most restrictive 
permissions.

It is covered in the FAQ at http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/ (about aliases,
document roots, cookie_paths, etc).  But in your case the FAQ may not be
of enough help (or maybe it is, who knows).

What is in your apache error log when you try to access the passwd page?

And do your files in the passwd/ directory have file system permissions
set right for the web server to access them (including the passwd/ directory
iteself)?
