Hi,

You should create the passwd file using the htpasswd program included 
with apache.
Ex: htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/passwd jinqiaoyu

I don't think that you can use your existing /etc/passwd file; maibe 
an Apache module could do this, but I'm not very familiar with this.

Check out http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html for more 
informations.
