overriding authenticating a user

Hi,

I'm running Apache 2. At my root directory, I have an .htaccess file
to require a password. The file contents are

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/path/to/password/files/.htpasswd"
AuthName Limited!
require valid-user

However, at a sub-directory, I'd like users to be able to access the
sub-directory without having to type in a username or password. Is
that possible? If so, what would I have to include in any .htaccess
file?

Thanks, - Dave

in sub directory .htaccess, or in the Directory stanza applied to that
subdirectory
Order Deny,Allow
Satisfy Any
should suffice
