Synopsis: <directory> not enforced if seen through symlink. State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: dgaudet State-Changed-When: Sun Jun 22 17:08:26 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: Yes as you surmise we know about this. This is now documented under the FollowSymLinks option. Apache just follows the link, and doesn't rewrite the pathname that it is considering. So you would have to protect /home/adatta/www to get what you want.
Thanks for using Apache! Dean
