Access control

Thank you Richard. I must say that is the fastest reply ever
to a question. The other option I found on the Net was to
use a Perl script from realtimescripts.com. I have yet to
access the website (seems to be down), but in the meantime
have you any opinions?

..htaccess is the simplest of the actual secure methods.

Don't go with a javascript solution.

We have yet to decide but it will be one of our members free
web space. Avoid Microsoft server is the answer I suppose?
I take it then that Unix or Apache are OK?

No - there are some good MS solutions, scripted. I personally would use an
MS solution as I can do it in about ten minutes, and I don't know where to
start with a Nix solution....

..net have some good and easy solutions - it depends on you and what ever
else you want to do ...
