I'm currently working on a cookie mod to protect all files in the admin directory - I think others have done this and some seem to work well but a few of them are very insecure.

My host (Verio - Win2000) doesn't support htaccess on NT and they don't want to provide an alternative solution. They keep telling me that I'll have to protect my stuff with ASP ... but protecting a Perl script with ASP is a little strange.
The only thing to do for me is to upload the script to the server when I want to administer the site ... which isn't very userfriendly.
It looks that there is no mod available to protect the admin scripts. Are can someone point me in the right direction?

If you are on a windows IIS server and you don't have access to the IIS administration, you can setup a FrontPage subweb then remove browse privs from everyone for that subweb. You can do this all from FrontPage. This is how I have been protecting my admin for years. When you go to your admin dir, you should get the pop-up authentication window. You would use whatever user/pass your ISP gave you for your NT account.
If you do have IIS admin access, you would just select the folder in question, go to properties, go to directory security, click on anonymous access and remove the check from anonymous access. Usually you access the IIS admin by apending the assigned port number onto your domain, i.e. http://me.com:1234/

Great advice...however, most Windows hosting companies do not allow access to the administrative web site.
