I'm SO impressed with Links, installation was so easy. Thought you might like this thing that makes creating .htpassword a breeze. Maybe you've seen this site before but what the hell.

www.flash.net/cgi-bin/pw.pl
Fill out this and put the text in a file called .htpassword

Then make a file called .htaccess and put this in it:
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthName "Links Admin"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Then place both files in the admin dir.

Good suggestion for novice users. However, I would not leave that script on your server, since people could access the script and add their names to the .htpasswd NOT .htpassword file.
