Hurumph, OK, thanks alot for the advice.

Do you know, or does anyone know, of any FAQ's/documentation on how to password protect a folder in AOL server so you get a username/password dialog box appearing?

Thanks

Roland,

If you're looking for the equivalent of apache's "basic" auth functionality, you'll want to use/configure the AOLserver nsperm module. Configuration consists of:

adding files to <server_root>/modules/nsperm:
    group
    passwd
    perms

and adding to your service's startup config.tcl:
    ns_section ns/server/${server}/modules
    ns_param  nsperm          ${bindir}/nsperm.so

Check aolserver.com for additional info.
