> There is a comment "UserDir public_html" where does it go? Rather than using UserDir, which puts the subdirectory in a user's home directory, I use Alias for /~ and /users to put them in /home/web. The reasoning is that I have a lot of novice users who don't know Unix from Eunuchs. To protect them, by default their directories are not readable by anyone except for them. The also are going to have no clue about setting permissions, so the only way to get their web pages to work is to move them out of their home dirs. -- Alan Batie ______ batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / Assimilate this! +1 503 452-0960 \ / --Worf, First Contact DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A 27 \/ 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 It is my policy to avoid purchase of any products from companies which use unrequested email advertisements or telephone solicitation.
