I want to secure some content from unauthorized access by using :

AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile /etc/secret/auth.users
Require valid-user

in one of my <virtualhost>'s

I would like to know if there is a possible way for apache to auto-login anyone coming from the 192.168.1 network to a specific user? This would be great if it required 0 client-side setup ( completely transparent ) and for the 192.168.2 network a login/pass would be asked to the user.

"For example, if you wanted to let people on your network have
unrestricted access to a portion of your website, but require that
people outside of your network provide a password, you could use a
configuration similar to the following:

Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from 192.168.1
Satisfy Any"

I don't think that this is exactly what the OP wanted.
With the configuration above, requests from 192.168.1.* will get through, but unauthenticated. What the OP seemed to want, is that these requests /would/ be authenticated automatically as "from user LOCAL-GUY" e.g.
