Changed information for PR general/294

Synopsis: htaccess searched for in weird places

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: dgaudet
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr  1 12:43:57 PST 1997
State-Changed-Why:
<Location> only matches URLs, it sounds like you want to protect the
filesystem -- which you should use <Directory> and/or <Files> for.  In any
event, unless you've got a section like:

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

then apache will look for .htaccess everywhere.  That's the correct   
behaviour.  The <Directory> docs suggest this.

Thanks for using apache.
