Unix doesn't use .htaccess files for access control.  They're used for
configuring web servers.

If your question is about how to block access within a web server, you
should ask in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.

That being said; if your question /is/ related to a file on UNIX then
your answer lies with the `chmod' command.
