Hallo list!

  I've been searching the archive but it seems there isn't yet a 

solution to this:

  I would like to have a whole site to be accessed only by user/passwd:

<Location />
  AuthXXX [..]
</Location>

  Only one directory should be accessible without authentication:
<Location /public>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from All
</Location>

  This does not work. I'm getting asked for user/passwd whenever I try 

to access http://domain.com/public

It looks like the AuthXXX directives are being "inherited" from the 

location / to the location /public, doesn'it ?

What happens if in /public, you just add another "AuthName public", and 

no other auth-related directives ?

I have a more complicated solution (working) involving mod_perl, but 

let's see if there exists a simpler alternative, in which I am also 

interested.
