Why other sites should use such access control ? FreeBSD's directories should be made so that they are accessible in http. I think that the effort to avoid using "index.html" is the same effort to avoid using chinese character for filename. -- Iwasa Kazmi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
