Unix for Web Development
UNIX was not designed to stop people from doing stupid things,
because that would also stop them from doing clever things.

HTACCESS: Setting up Password-Protected Web Directories
You can password-protect your web directories for web access-- if someone points their browser
at such a directory, their browser will prompt them for an htaccess username and an htaccess password.
The following pages describe how to set this up. (The only fact to add is that the two files used by HTACCESS
must be world-readable (mode =755 or 644). This usually happens automatically,
unless you have modifed the Unix umask variable.)
