I don't believe there's a log that will tell you exactly what the problem is 
with the login.  But, this may help...  A couple of times now, I've 
inadvertently left a blank space at the end of the password.  When I've 
removed the space and stopped/restarted the webserver, I've been able to log 
on.  You might want to check for an extra blank after the password and make 
sure that your entry looks like:

netview.PROPERTY.user         : password

where user is the username and password is whatever password you've assigned. 
 I also usually start a fresh browser session after restarting webserver, but 
that could just be superstition on my part.

Someone mentioned adding a UNIX account, but you really don't need one.  The 
web server doesn't look at the UNIX password file for authentication.
