[TriLUG] .htaccess and /etc/passwd

[Tarus Balog]

Gang:

I'm probably missing something easy here, but is there a way to set  
up .htaccess for a list of users and to get the password for those  
uses from their shell access?

For example, I have a server with four users, Bill, Carol, Ted and  
Alice.

I want to allow Ted and Alice access to a directory via .htaccess but  
I don't want them to have to maintain a password separate from their  
shell account.
