I just tried this out. I have basic authentication set up for all users. If the user is in the AuthGroupFile then there is no additional request for authentication when s/he clicks on the Host Commands. If the user is not in the AuthGroupFile then there is a request for authentication, just as expected. However, thereafter the user is deemed unauthenticated and clicking on any other page or back on the browser requires to enter the username and passwd again. Not sure if this will confuse your average user, but it will do for now. Of course, when version 3.0 comes out Ton's solution will do this more elegantly. Thank you both for your help! :) -- Regards, Mick
