Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Newbee question

In response to a question I asked about any required security issues to
deal with prior to turning up an Apache server, J. Greenlees answered:

doesn't have the security issues.

to block the error log from recording searches by the nimba and code red
viruses. apache won't allow anything to get outside of the web directories
so they won't find the files they are looking for.

Thanks for that.  That's pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to ask.
In an earlier life I got burned with IIS so I'm a bit touchy about that.
Got Apache loaded and turned up with no trouble at all.  Next step is to
get a Dynamic DNS client loaded and move my domain so it actually gets to
the house without having to know the IP address (which can change once in a
while)...

Thanks for the info...
