From experience most of those scripts don't really use the server to protect a directory. The also add to the weight of your pages and create more intense processing for your server. In the case of a membership site you need to use the popup server login or you'll loose big time. Sambar will do all the encryption required right out of the box no mess or fuss and for added password protection you can use the Digest mode which sends the password from the browser to Sambar in MD5 encryption.
