I have this same problem as well, with a fresh/otherwise unmodified build of 
2.0.14, with mod_auth_pam 1.1.1 compiled statically into Apache 1.3.26.  
Authenticate once fine, then get the RT login screen.  Of course, in this 
case, the RT login requires the local/RT password -- it doesn't end up 
passing it off to PAM (which works for other similarly protected webspace on 
this server).

Ideas, anyone?  Perhaps I'm setting $WebExternalAuth improperly (couldn't 
find any relevent documentation or useful examples in mailing list archives).
