This is MOSTLY FreeBSD related, so please forgive me if it's slightly off topic :) we'd like to password protect (using PHP on Apache) some web pages for a "customer's only" type section on the web site. we'd like to use the same user names and passwords that they use to SSH in their web content (scp), which, of course, are in /etc. Can this be done, and if so, how? If not, is this a really bad idea, and why? What other suggestions would people make for password protection pages/portions of a web site? thanks much! mark.
