Directory has "Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" enabled. The problem arises if there is a symlink to a file and other person edits the file (to which the symlink points to) than the owner of the symlink. After this the server refuses to handout the document because the ownerships has been chnaged and they do not match anymore. >How-To-Repeat: No demo needed, i hope... >Fix: Yes, offer a new argument to Options called SymLinksIfGroupMatch or something like that. With this option enabled the group ownerships are compared. OF course this doesn't override any file protections, the team must take care of those 8-%2 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
