I'm pretty sure that when you protect a directory, all subdirectories under
that directory are also protected - and I'm pretty sure that there's no way
to shut it off
My advise to wim is to not password protect the root, and instead put the
stuff that he wants protected in a subdirectory that is protected. Then he
can put a link to that directory in the root page, to make it easy for
those who are supposed to be able to view the information to get to it.
