[ale] Web Login

[Jason Lynn]

If you're using apache, look into htpasswd for generating password files.  
Then you use a file .htaccess (I think that's right), that contains certain 
directives, in the directory where you want to prevent access.

>Greetings,

>I would like a secure/simple method of doing so, any suggestions?  Backend
