Re: [SLUG] Apache htaccess questions

The answer is to make the .htaccess file in the /home/foobar/www/bbs/
directory read as follows:

/home/foobar/www/bbs/.htaccess
     Satisfy Any
     Allow from all

All the other directories still prompt for a userid and password and the
bbs requires no userid and password.
