Subject: [SLUG] Password protecting specific web folders
> Hi

> Is there any way to get Apache/Linux to get a browser to prompt for the
> Linux user password to get access to a folder that the public doesn't
> have permissions for? I've done it in NT and it is quite a useful way
> of adding an extra layer of protection to admin sections of websites.

> I have been setting a session variable based on the correct username and
> password and redirecting the user away from the secure page if the
> session is not set for that user. What are the best ways of securing
> these areas of websites?
