Securing Joomla! installations

I would suggest to add one more measure to the .htaccess file and that is to add a restriction from which IP addresses the admin interface can be accessed by adding: order deny,allow deny from all allow from 1.2.3.4 More information can be found here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_access.html

Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought that the htpasswd file is best put outside of any directory that Apache accesses.
