[users@httpd] Auth for local, but not remote

[Eric Anderson <er...@afaik.us>]

I have checked the apache docs but can't seem to figure out how to do a 
simple operation.

I want to require authentication for users coming from a remote machine, 
but if a request comes from the local machine the request needs no 
authentication.

How do I configure apache to do this? It would be even better if I could 
put this in a .htaccess file.

Found the answer to my own question.

By the way, I messed up the subject line for this. It should be "Auth 
from remote, but not local". Sorry for any confusion.
