[edit] Resricting Access
Apache groups are defined in a simple text file. One can edit this with any text editor directly on the server. Each group starts on its own line, and is of the format:
groupname: member1 member2 member3 member4 group2name: member3 member5
The .htaccess file in your directories can then have a statement along the lines of:
Require group group2name
We set the actual file names containing groups, along with the password file to use, in the main Apache configuration.
[edit] On a dedicated server
Regarding what to edit with, we use vi, but that can be very confusing if you're not familiar with it--there is no visible help, and two different modes of operation. I just installed nano, which is a bit simpler, and shows control-keys to use for the various actions like Save, Close, etc.
You can edit these files with a command like:
nano /var/www/conf/private.htgroup
Cheers,
