I'm not sure exactly which way you are asking, therefore I will give both ways
that I know of here:  Individual login and system wide login.   If anyone know
so f a way to limit the login to site administrators only, then please let me
know directly.

1) A Specific login name and password
   a. Telnet in, and login as the User or admin or root
   b. Navigate to the directory you want to password protect.
   c. Create the .htaccess file in the directory (example: pico .htaccess), it
should contain the following lines:
                    # Access file
                    order allow,deny
                    allow from all
                    require valid-user
                    Authname DirectoryName
                    AuthPAM_Enabled off
                    Authtype Basic
                    AuthUserFile /home/sites/sitename/web/directory/.htpasswd

    Replace DirectoryName with anything that you want - if you want.
    Replace sitename and directory as appropriate.

   Note: If you want to use the systems' /etc/passwd file for authentication you
can eliminate the AuthUserFile line from the .htaccess file above.

  d. Now you must create the .htpasswd file using the htpasswd tool.
     i. Type the following command to create the file and add a user:
     ii. /usr/bin/htpasswd -c .htpasswd username  OR
       /home/chiliasp/admin/conf/htpasswd  -c .htpasswd username
     iii. You will be prompted for the users' password twice.
  e. If you need to add additional users to the file, use the command above
without the -c.


2) FOR AN ACCESS FILE FOR ALL ACTIVE E-Mail USERS on the whole server, use:
 # Access file
 order allow,deny
 allow from all
 require valid-user
 Authname "Customer-Area"
 AuthPAM_Enabled on
 Authtype Basic
 AuthUserFile /etc/shadow

There is no need to create htpasswd file with method 2.


I Hope that this helps.

John
