Package: thttpd
Version: 2.25b-3
According to the documentation there is a symlinkcheck and nosymlinkcheck
configuration option that may be used in thttpd.conf. According to the source
code this is not the case. The attached patch fixes the documentation to
conform to the source code configuration options symlinks and nosymlinks.
Naturally this may be included in Debians thttpd package under the license used.
