[Mapserver-users] securing .map best practice

Hi all,

Now that I'm about to start using PostGIS my .map file is going to have
sensitive information in it, and so I'm wondering what others have done
as the common/best practice for securing it against prying eyes.  I'm
using apache 1.3 on linux and I don't think restricting access to the
directory containing .map will work since the webserver needs to read
the file.  All tips appreciated.

Thanks,
Oliver
