On a server with directory indexing turned on, that will
prevent files that are named .htaccess, begin with a
period, have a tilde or pound sign in them, or begin with
HEADER or README or _vti from being shown.

It means you have FrontPage extensions installed on the server.... or at
least they used to be there (disabling FP extensions does not change these
default entries in .htaccess).
IndexIgnore prevents viewing of files specified on that line using web
browsers. On a properly configured server directory indexing should be
turned off already, but FrontPage includes this line automatically when you
install it on a domain.
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.newscienceideas.com
AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Why would this code not work in there for SFL? I put it at the top, and I
get Forbidden errors at the site and in admin....

You just discovered the pleasures of working with FrontPage and .htaccess -
these two mix like oil and water. While most things can be still done in
.htaccess, they will require making additional changes to make them work on
sites that have FP extensions enabled. Sometimes it requires explicitly
turning on a specific directive in .htaccess before you enter your changes,
and sometimes it's as elaborate as having to reset file permissions and/or
editing very specific files that FP generates in its various _vti_*
directories. I'd suggest a good book on FP extensions and server
administration, or living on MS Technet site for a while to learn all these
little idiosyncrasies.

I found out the site is no longer maintained with FrontPage, so I'll get
them to get their host to get rid of the FrontPage extensions. Or change
hosts....
Thanks!
