I think it is an order of operation. So allow all is the answer.. For example: Deny ALL Allow A, B and C Is more secure than, Allow A, B and C, Deny all. I also think that the second example would not work like desired. Unlike IPCHAINS. I believe the apache statements are read and computed as a whole - as opposed to stopping and executing a given rule when a match is made. :) Cheers, Richard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "e-smith-devinfo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 13, 2001 8:37 AM Subject: [e-smith-devinfo] httpd statements? > Having developed my method of adding arbitrary statements to the > <Directory> sections of httpd.conf for ibays, I now am not sure if it's going > to have the desired effect.
