Subject: Can other pages hide behind elog user authentication? 

Hello,

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over who that is and what their privileges are. I can easily share somewhat sensitive notes, plots, and findings without making them completely open to the world. 

I have a project which generates html pages, which I'm also not really supposed to make public to the world.  I'd rather not resort to attaching them to elog entries.

Could the elog security be extended to control access to other files I put on the server? 

Thanks,
