  um, for ftp ? This was a solution to having to cd ../.. for users
  uploading via ftp, the web server never looks at this link....

  yes...i am using this method now....seems to work fine...tho i'm not
  using frontpage...

  The way me raq2 is set up, httpd will follow symlinks if they are owned
  by the same user as the target, dunno for sure if that is the default
  however as someone else preconfigured it (sage)
