Hi,
On 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F45509&zone_32=category%3Asecurity,
 
(Sun Cobalt "mod_ssl" ("apache-openssl-1.3.x") May Allow Local Account 
Compromise) the workaround is to disallow per-directory configuration files 
by only having "AllowOverride None" directives in your "httpd.conf" file. 
it also says Note: If ".htaccess" files are used to control access to 
restricted areas of web sites, these areas will become UNPROTECTED by this 
action.
This info is referenced in the 
http://sunsolve.sun.com/patches/cobalt/raq4.eng.html entry for the patch.
I use .htaccess files to control access - will this patch clobber that?
