Re: [ProgSoc] A password question

["gleNN!" <glennw@nospam.vma.tabnsw.com.au>]

Yup ... use a little file called htaccess ...

then you can create a password file of your own using the htpasswd
command .

A basic .htaccess file looks like this ...

====================
AuthUserFile /home/stallion/public_html/testing/access/passwd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName Testicles
AuthType Basic

<LIMIT GET POST>
require valid-user
</LIMIT>
========================

Then to create your password file ...

"htpasswd -c <passwdfile> <username>"

Only use the -c flag if the passwd file dont exist. If ya need any more help,
give
me a yell =)
