Of course, upon further reflection, the following also needs to be added to
the httpd.conf file:

<Files ~ "^\.(ht|HT|Ht|hT)">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

To prevent users from viewing the encrypted form of your password by passing
a request like:

http://somesever/somedir/.Htaccess

The above is untested but it should work.

Sincerely,

Paul Burney
