Bug#410557: /etc/dokuwiki/.htaccess doesn't exist in Debian package and allow access to acl and users

2007-02-16 Thread Thijs Kinkhorst
Hi, There are more web applications in Debian accessing to /etc. For example PhpMyAdmin: ~$ ls -l /usr/share/phpldapadmin/config/config.php config.php - /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php Thanks for using my package as an example, but this way of referencing the config is not insecure.

Ah, that would be the link ./usr/share/dokuwiki/conf - /etc/dokuwiki being shipped in the package, probably as a cheap workaround for a lack of config include path in the software. :/ There are more web applications in Debian accessing to /etc. For example PhpMyAdmin: ~$ ls -l
