RE: Restricting a Few Users--Simplest Approach?

I'm really looking for something that will require the least change to
the existing setup possible--I'm not the webmaster here, just a coder
who happens to have a little svn experience. I could hack the script
that generates htpasswd to use a blacklist to filter the accounts that
should have read-only access into a separate file; would that make
something simpler possible? Basically a variant of the anon-r/o,
auth-r/w pattern, with both sides auth'd, but separated.
