Guest Account and authorization

I have not done that, but I don't think it would be too difficult.
You could do it by making new directories for the public "frontend", meaning the
HTML in /share and the "read-only" CGIs (tac.cgi, status.cgi, etc.) in /sbin. They
could be symbolic links (where possible) to make things easier. The CGIs and images
are definitely good candidates for that.
Then, you would need to make two new virtual directories with Apache that point to
those extra directories, and also change the side.html for the public one to hit the
public CGI virtual directory. The public directories' .htaccess would not require
HTTP-Auth, the "admin" ones would.
