hi,
i have nukesentinel setup up on my site and i like it. i have my .htaccess setup and im using CGIAuth protection. my problem is that i have a script im running on my site in a subdirectory that uses a file named admin.php to administer it. i want to give someone access to use it while not making them an admin. as you know the <Files> directive in the .htaccess file limits access to any file named admin.php even if in subdirectories. i searched the apache docs and info on the <Files> directive states that the file will be protected in subdirectories, unless specifically overridden. i need to figure it out how to override the protecton in this subdirectory. i tried to figure it out myself as i do with everything but this one was tough.
thanks.

Try this in the subdirectory .htaccess

<Files admin.php>
allow from all
</Files>
