Or for zero configuration and zero access:

Order Allow, Deny
Deny From All

Check out Apache's page on Authentication, Authorization and Access Control -- one method would be using Basic or Digest authentication. That would look something like this:

AuthType Digest
AuthName "Private files"
AuthDigestFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/digest
Require user (usernames here)

Of course, you need to generate a password and/or digest file using htdigest or htpasswd as well, but that procedure is explained in the document I linked to.
