OK, I'm stumped. How would you do that, other than blind experimentation? Perhaps it's just been a long day, but I can't think of any way to find out that information other than adding directives and seeing what happens. > Your sentence "Carefully consider whether you want to give your > users this privilege." is of course correct, but sounds a little > like "so better give them less privileges".

You might add a line about that as well. Can you give me an example line that would serve this purpose. I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. > "Having said that, if you still think you need to use a .htaccess file," > you might add there "(like if you are just using webspace, not > your own server)" which seems the most likely scenario to me. OK, will do. > "You must have "AllowOverride AuthInfo" in effect" looks like a typo.
