if you are running apache, then you should also consider the mod_perl
way of doing it.
with mod_perl (or .htaccess, for that matter), you don't have to use a
cookie to maintain state. the browser remembers the username/password
until it's closed.
normally, if i need to restrict a directory for just one user, i use
.htaccess. if the directory needs to be restricted for many users, i
use mod_perl (and a db backend).
