Since this is a straight webserver function, use Apache Basic Authentication (assuming you are on Apache or equivalent).

To keep things simple you can have a "shared" username and password for family members and you can even send them links that include the AUTH info as in: > http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/listing/uploads/family_only/ -- Neil Herber Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
