[ale] Username/Password

[Jamey Owens]

Hey Terry,

To use httpd.conf instead of a .htaccess file for authentication you just 
need to use the same directives as you would in the .htaccess file inside a 
<Directory /dirpath/> tag.  If you're worried about server hit because of a 
lot of users you might be better off trying out mod_auth_dbm.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html has good explations of the 
auth setup.
