We actualy use this on our site to give members only access to hosted sites on our server.

From what I can gather it is pretty easy to install on the server and involves a mod to the httpd.conf file.

It gets passes directly from the SQL database and users can be removed from access by removing their accounts using the admin control panel.

We have been using it for a few weeks now and had no problems with it at all, users can even change pass as it does not write to a htaccess file it just accesses the database.

I will get my server admin Gaf to write a doc on it and post it up in the next few days.

I also know he has made it so we can give certain user groups access to certain sections of the site. Not a clue how but it works.
