Hello,

	I am running apache 1.3 on redhat linux 7.2.  My question is this.
How do i setup a directory on the website that requires a user to supply a
username and password.  And where do I have to setup that account?

In the apache/bin directory you have and command, htpasswd wich you create a
file containing the username a password. See the sintaxis, its easy to
config.

Then you use apache directives to limit access. Inside <directory..>
</directory> for example:

AuthUserFile <path to file created by .htpasswd>
AuthName "<Title will appear in validating pop-up>"
AuthType Basic <Type of autentication>
require user <user to login>

Also, you can write this line into a .htaccess file and put it in physically
in the directory you wnat protect. Use the directive AllowOverride to
activate this.


Sorry my poor english.
