[ale] Username/Password

[terry at bitlinx.com (Terry Bailey)]

Hi,

I think that username/password access to a directory on a Web server 
can handled completely in httpd.conf instead of using .htaccess. I 
have heard that the hit on the server would not be as great this way. 
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?  Is there a good tutorial 
out on The Web somewhere?

Thanks,
