Here's a simple example of a .htaccess ...

AuthName "MythWeb"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd
Require valid-user
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0
Satisfy Any

The above will let anybody in with an IP of 192.168.0.* without asking
for a password, and anybody else will be prompted.  You can put that in
the mythweb folder in the .htaccess file, or better yet just put it in
the apache httpd.conf in a <Directory> section.  You'll need
AllowOverride AuthConfig in your httpd.conf if you want to use .htaccess
files for authentication.

Set your password like so:
htpasswd -c /path/to/passwd myusername

Note: the passwd file is not your /etc/passwd.
