It means that a client cannot pass just because it is allowed; it has to also NOT be denied. That's why the following works: Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from .badguys.com If there were short-circuit logic, since the allows are processed first, even .badguys.com would be allowed because it matches "all". So the statement is trying to just make it clear that ALL of the allows and denies will be evaluated, which for this example means that a client from .badguys.com is first allowed but then immediately afterward denied; the end result is deny. Does that help? --Cliff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. http://shopping.yahoo.com/
