Add the user www-data to the group shadow. What you also can do is not
using mod_auth_pam but the old fashion way. Generate a htpasswd for the
.htaccess-files. With some simple scripting and cron you can do this.
And second some password-results aren't exposed like the root-pw and
the accounts to maintain the machine.
