Hi, I started using the dev subdomain trick to allow previewing draft  
pages.  
Is there a way to not allow people access that site using radiant or do  
I  
have to use apache for that kind of access control?

You will need to use apache for that. Could someone write a how to up  
for the using Radiant in dev and production modes?

I’ll write a page on the wiki in a few moments. Do you think there’s a  
way  
to have radiant check for authentication if the url is dev?

I’ll put it into my pipeline and see what I can do 🙂

You could easily create a plugin to do this. It would need to monkey  
patch the site controller, but it’s definitely doable.
