[users@httpd] Re: access restrictions inheritence

[michael portmann <mi...@gmx.ch>]

Hi

Simple question. I have a directory with includes some child directories.
If restrict access to the parent directory, is it also automaticly
restricted for child directories?
And how is it if I allow symbolic links there for linked directories?

Thanks for your help!!!
michael

Yes.

Apache follows the symlink but does not reset the path for checking
against <Directory> entries, so they should still be restricted.

Of course, you should test this yourself.
