I had a protracted conversation with Mr. Alex and friends on this very topic about a year and a half ago. If you've got a half-hour to kill, go read this interesting thread:

I finally gave up on trying to convince him to password protect Links like every other program in the world. What we (us) ended up doing is just renaming the ADMIN.CGI file to something else when we're not using it. That way someone can't get into the admin function and screw with things, except when we're online doing the same, if you know what I mean. It's worked so far.
We just signed on with ReadyHosting.com. One of the main reasons is they've figured out how to password protect WinNT subdirectories, hopefully without the use of 'child' webs or sub webs. We'll see how it works out and I'll post the results here later.
