Yes, and it's already built in, in addition to htpasswd , PAM is enabled
in apache, so if you create an htaccess file requiring authentication,
and don't supply any passwords, and leave PAM enabled, users can log in
using their existing username/password for the machine (same one as email
etc)

ps: somewhere in the archives is an example file for this....you want one
that *doesn't have any reference for PAm in this case...

gsh
