Apparently someone really doesn't want me to have a server!

I should have explained the htacces stuff a bit better. You have a single file on the filesystem that contains usernames and associated (MD5'd) passwords. In either the Apache config or .htaccess files (if you went for the file route you'd have a .htaccess at the root of the structure that you wanted to be the 'home' directory for each user) you say what users are allowed to access that directory.

So you'd have a password on a per user basis as you wanted.
