This was on a RaQ2.
I used a CGI program from http://www.cgi-factory.com/password/index.shtml
and set up a sub-directory in a FP site protected with this .htaccess:

AuthPAM_Enabled off
Options -Indexes
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site60/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Corporate ID"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

The site owner was still able to publish pages into the sub-directory with
no problem on FrontPage and the pages were protected from browsing. He was
able to add and remove users via the CGI program.
