• (rhk) Home / DHTML & CSS / Comprehensive guide to .htaccess/ Intro; ; - despite a few things that appear like errors to me (calling the .htaccess the file extension (instead of the name of a hidden file), this looks like a fairly useful tutorial. I've only glanced at the first two pages (of possibly 10?).

• (rhk) htpassword tutorial; ; - this focuses more directly on authentication so might be appropriate to list under that topic as well -- just starting to read but looks promising

• (rhk) .htaccess tips - BETA; ; - This may (should) eventually have quite a few specific "tips" (sample .htaccess files to accomplish specific tasks). The last time I viewed it (18 Jan 2003) those included:
  • prevent people from hotlinking your stuff
  • prevent downloaders/rippers to download your files
  • others in the user comments

• (rhk) Secure your Web sites with Apache's .htaccess; Jack Wallen, Jr.; TechRepublic; 29 May 2003 — looks promising, haven't read or skimmed

• (rhk) Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3: .htaccess files: HOWTO; ; — tidbits — you can do anything in the general configuration file (if you have access to it) instead of .htaccess files
