I am running into the same problem. I would like a directory to be password protected by .htaccess. I want a client login area where a user can put in a username and password and it takes them to the proper directory and checks their username and password in the .htaccess to make sure they have the proper rights. Does anyone have any idea how to do this on a cobalt using PERL or C/++. I do not want to turn on ASP or Frontpage so they are not an option.
