[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mod rewrite F flag

In my server, I want to reject access to files that exist. (to some php files that are allways included via other files, and never needs to be accessed directly). I use: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F] The trouble is it sends 403 - forbidden. I want it to send 404 - file not found. how can this be done?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a way to use external script with .htaccess for authentication?

I specifically wants to use my PHP authentication system, with .htaccess to protect folders. I would imagine something like: |is_authorized.php returning Allow/Deny inside the .htaccess how can this be done?
