08/11   How can I setup htaccess to protect my web files? Any samples or docs ?
        \_ use google.
        \_ Make a .htaccess file in the directory you want to protect (will
           be inherited by all below it)  In it put:

           AuthType Basic
           AuthName "Top Secret User (Or Whatever you Want)"
           AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd/file/not/web/accessible
           require valid-user

           Then run /path/to/htpasswd -c /path/you/used/above username
           to make a new user and create the password file.
        \_ touch ~/public_html/.htaccess
           chmod o-r !$

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

           \_ An anachronism from a bygone era, when computers were hard to

           \_ A non useful implementation of twitter.

7/7     what happened to our web presence? http://www.csua.berkeley.edu
        not working
    \_ That would be because we've yet to set them up afaik. Steven *does* have
    a job after all. The idea is that we want a separate computer mounting the
    web directories, so that if an exploit compromises the webserver, the shell
    server (soda) itself will be insulated from the attack.

2/10    I have an sh file that does a mount.. the mount does an
        authentication. I previosly stored the username and password
        from zenity prompts. However, I can't get a return on the password
        field. The following only works on the username:
        mount -t davfs "http://blahblah.com/BLahUser11" /mountdir << EOF
