Re: [cobalt-users] Password-Protect a directory

["Lennie Core" <lcore@xxxxxxxx>]

Be sure that the Auth file is one level above the /web directory and 
that it has chmod 777 or users and or passwords (encrypted) won't 
be there. 

Take a look at cgi-resources.com for great password protection 
scripts.  I use Password Manager myself.

Happy Holidays and Blessings,
