Yes, and to (technical) mailing lists in general it seems from your recent
posts.
If you have any wish to get valueable answers to you questions in the

Take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/howto/htaccess.html
(.htaccess file explained) and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/howto/auth.html (individual and user groups
passwords). Anyway i recommend you that take a look at Apache official docs,
located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/ ... there you will find a nice
intro to some Apache concepts and several how-to's.
On the other way think about implementing authorization through htppaswd
file and Directives instead using a .htaccess file per each protected
directory, take a look at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/programs/htpasswd.html
