Newbie : allow all user in child directory

Hi to all,
I've protected a directory using a simple .htaccess I am satisfied
with. But now, I want to allow any user to access a subdirectory.

Eg :
/root/members >> password protected
/root/members/foo >> password protected
/root/members/public >> open to anyone

What directives should I use to override the .htaccess in
/root/members ?

I've tried a couple things, looked around the Apache reference, but
everything refers to protecting directories :o).

Oh, one last thing : moving the directory is not an option :o(

Thanks in advance !
Damien

echo "Order deny,allow" > /root/members/public/.htaccess

Thanks, but no luck...

Here's the original htaccess :
PerlSetVar AuthFile /members/.passlist
AuthName "Espace Membre"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Here's the one I tried in members/public :
Order deny,allow

I've also tried "Allow from all" after the above directive.

Still got the pass prompt.

Any idea ? Where am I wrong ? Thanks again in advance !

Does adding "Satisfy any" help?
