1:
under Linux, you can ln -l foo foo.bar and both will stay up-to date (you can 
edit foo and the foo.bar file will be changed, and when foo is requested, the 
httpd  will see that its a link and serve the foo.bar file.
2:
to requre authentication of a directory, you can use a .htaccess file in the 
directory. there is more documentation on that in the apache docs.

countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere
if they don't get it.
