Protected Directory within Geeklog Security Framework

Is there a way to control access to a specified directory so that only Geeklog members are allowed to browse the contents?
I have some html/pdf documents in a directory I want to link to from within Geeklog, but do not want people to be able to access directly without going thru Geeklog permissions.

here is a quick and dirty way:
create an .htaccess file (assuming apache).
insert this:
Deny from all
Allow from env=GL_LOGGEDIN_USER
not totally secure, but a start.
if you change $_CONF['cookie_session'] from the default "gl_session" at any time then use the corresponding value in the .htaccess file.
snagged that tidbit off portalparts--keeping peeps out of the download dirs when using the filemngment plugin.

Excellent! Works great! Just what I need to keep the files out of non-member view until I integrate them into Geeklog.
Thanks.
What I was kind of hoping for is a more complete solution where the user group and r e permissions could be determined to grant access to the directory or even specific files in the directory. ie only an admin group member who has permission to and selects a link from within in an area of Geeklog can view the file.

Any one used this plugin?

- External Pages that have the code added to them are automatically added to the system the first time they are accessed.
- Templates are provided for creating pages that contain php or php and html and for pages that contain the Geeklog header and footer and those that do not.
