I believe it's newer than the one that came with FreeBSD 2.1. Apache's up to 1.0.0, officially, and 1.0.1 unofficially; FreeBSD 2.1 shipped with Apache 0.8.14, I believe. There were more than a few patches between those version; maybe one of them fixes your problem. (I seem to recall a password fix being among them, but don't quote me.) Apache builds cleanly on FreeBSD straight out of the "box." ---- Brian Clapper, bmc@telebase.com, http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ Labor, n.: One of the processes by which A acquires property for B. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
