It would sometimes be useful if rather the VB usernames/passwords could be stored in a form readable by the Apache .htaccess access control so that you could protect non-VB areas of your website so that only registered users could access them, using the same id/password.
So I guess this would mean issuing a htpasswd command when a user registered, or periodically doing this for users in the database. Some sites use http authentication for their large user communities - I don't quite know how they do it- can you get Apache to call external routines to authenticate users?
