[johnpaine]

I am runing redhatlinux 9.0 with the included Apache 2.0 under /var/www/html

Isnt there an included program for making .htaccess/.htpaswd files for directry protection.

I think you may be referring to the directive AllowOverride with the directive type of AuthConfig.

If so you would do something like:

<Directory "/usr/local/someWebSite/docs/membersOnly">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options None
</Directory>

you need to log in to your server. if its not at your desk then ssh or telnet.

then you use a text editor to make the .htaccess file

and /usr/bin/htpasswd to create a .htpasswd file.

is that what you mean?
