Password-protecting a website. Every six

Password-protecting a website. Every six months or so I go back to this Webmonkey article from 1997 on how to set up the .htaccess and .htpassword files on an Apache server to password-protect a directory. I’m posting it here because I needed to refer to it today and it belongs in the RFB web-design (category “fireweaver”) knowledge base. [Christian Crumlish (xian): fireweaver]
