Login required- will section of site be indexed?

[shyla]

If there is a login required to get into a sub-domain section of our site- will the sub-domain be indexed?

If I don't want it to be should I still use a robot.txt file to make sure it doesn't?

No it won't be - a robot can't "login".

You may want to block the login page so it doesn't even go that far which would be a waste of time.

That's what I thought- thanks!
