While researching how to let Googlebot index (but not cache) login-protected pages, in hopes of gathering a user's interest enough via search results to have them subscribe to our site, I ran across an example of exactly what I want to do. The following link is a list of search results, the fourth one down being a .pdf file on the IEEE website. Now, when you go to it you're redirected to a "login required" screen. This is cloaking, is it not? How do you go about doing something like this? [google.com...]

Hi Semitracks and welcome to WebmasterWorld :) It's more likely a URL rewrite, where the user agent is detected as a browser, and the URL is rewritten to the URL of the login page. To do something like that yourself, look into the Apache module Mod_Rewrite [httpd.apache.org]. You might also be able to get some help in the Apache forum [webmasterworld.com].
