Thanks for the reply. But even with password authentication turned on,
it seems like an unauthenticated user can still do things like probe
which urls exist and which don't. I guess this isn't a big deal, but
it made me wonder if there was some way to prevent that as well. I
guess if I need that I should look into the apache methods of
restricting access...

Thanks,
