Is it possible to set up a protected directory login where the resulting folder is based on the user logging in to the directory?

To make this more simple to understand, I want to be able to have a single url for people to log in to but based on their login it takes them to their own secure area where I can display site or account information, etc. so if I log in I go to my account area and if you log in you go to your account area.

What's the easiet way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Scripting. cgi, php, asp, whatever.

Find a programmer to help you, but it's probably not going to be free. Check the "Job Offers and Requests" forum.

Probably Apache's mod_rewrite would be the easiest.
