What portable authentication types are there besides HTTP
authentication and cookie authentication? If you are referring to
mod_auth_mysql, I thought that was HTTP Basic authentication with
a DB backend instead of a flat file.

A robots.txt file will only keep out good bots. Otherwise, it is
fodder for the malicious ones.
