everything should be pretty obvious .. about symlinks, as far as I can
remember, apache will follow symlink that resolve to a legitimate URL
under ServerRoot.
about password, I think there's a built in module in apache that does this
(maybe you need to add or activate it), but I usually use CGIs to do that.
much easier and more configurable.

just open the file, it's well commented out. I didn't read anything but
the man page and the files in /etc/httpd/conf and i didn't had any
problems with setting up, including public_html (and sub dirs).
about .htaccess, read this - http://www.apache.org/docs-1.2/mod/core.html
it should be a starting point.
