[ale] Apache htaccess questions

[Jan Mason]

I have a web site that I am trying to setup the access to using 
.htaccess files.  Is it possible to have the top level directory, 
/home/foobar/www/, password protected via a /home/foobar/www/.htaccess 
file while also having the /home/foobar/www/bbs/ directory setup to have 
no password protection via a /home/foobar/www/bbs/.htaccess file?  If so 
how?
