Alternatly, you could do what my WRT54g does and use HTTP
authentication, but simply ignore the username field.  Or have a blank
username?
Either way, I don't know your situation, but that may be the simplist
way to go...

Having looked at apache docu and literally dozens of other help pages
about this, I'm not getting how to password protect a directory but
when a browser hits the index.html only a password is required.... not
a username.

What doesn't appear to be explained is how to get around the incoming
browser user having to know a username and it is a real username on
server.

There is some discussion of setting your own usernames but still it
would seem to require an incoming browser to supply both a username
and a password.

So, is it something that can be done on a remote account where I don't
own root?
