Root access ??
In wich cases ?

In fact, I just began to use Ht://dig and I must say that
installation, configuration, and running is very VERY simple.
Config file is clear and simple, Doc is well done, etc.

I use the htdig-3-2-x branch of CVS development branch, and
I just ran my first install 2 days ago. In about 1 hour, the
whole thing gets compiled and configured (without any root access ;-)
and a crawl for two sites was launched... It works perfectly...

I don't know who to thank, but... thanks :)

A suggestion: in the default config file, the url that are NOT
crawled/indexed are these containing /cgi-bin/ and .cgi
(exclude_urls)
I think that adding the different listing types of Apache
(?D=D ?D=A ?S=D ?S=A ?N=D ?N=A ?M=D ?M=A)
and the binary, config, etc. directories of Frontpage
(_vti_)
could be a good default :)

Cheers,
