I assume you're referring to .htaccess files.  You'll need to read the Apache docs, particularly with reference to the AllowOverride directive, which is what e-smith uses to prevent the use of .htaccess files.

There is no reason to use .htaccess files, and unless used very carefully, .htaccess files can create a security risk. Instead of using .htaccess files, create a custom httpd.conf template fragment which contains the access rules you wish to apply.
