	Hey there folks !!

	I need some help concerning User Authentication.
	I know how to use the method with the .htaccess,
	.htpasswd and .htgroup and it works well except that
	once you've accessed the Authenticated page
	(having used a password) you can get access to that
	same page without being prompted for a username
	and password...
	
	Does anyone know of a way to overcome this ??
	I have heard of using a <META> tag to do this,
	but I'm not certain what it is.

	I will be grateful for any contribution(s).

	Thank you.
