eh.....is u protect http://www.mysite.com/users/ with a .htaccess file,
and try to access http://www.mysite.com/users/<username>/, apache will
still kick in the access permissions and prompt for a username/password.
Like on my machine I've defined
<Directory "/home/httpd/html/workstuff">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
And if I tried to access http://localhost/workstuff/admin/test I'll get
asked for a username even though the .htaccess file is in
/home/httpd/html/workstuff/admin
