I thought of that.  I use Firefox almost exclusively.  To test the authentication I cranked up Internet Explorer, knowing I have not used it for ViewVC in a long, long time, if ever.  No authentication request was presented, just straight into the pages.

Hm... Good tip.  Answer is yes, as in the two sample lines below:

10.x.x.71 - - [16/Apr/2009:15:44:10 -0700] "GET /viewvc/ HTTP/1.1" 200 10213 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
 Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8"
10.148.14.71 - - [16/Apr/2009:15:44:11 -0700] "GET /viewvc-static/styles.css HTTP/1.1" 304 - "http://server/viewvc/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8"
