Well you seem to be hurting here... so I ran through the
mod_auth source code. (I assume you are using Apache)

Nope, mod_auth only supports 1 password file per directory
declaration.

It is trivial to extent this, but if you think about what you're
doing this isn't the way you want to it. By doing it at root, you've
given even the most basic user access all the way down the tree.
Rewriting the entire authentication method to work backwards,
would NOT be trivial.


You might want to look at grouping and using that to restrict
further down the tree.
