[cobalt-users] Allow Users To Change Settings (a discovery)



I'm posting a discovery I found that allows users to modify the following 
information on their own WITHOUT you having to make the changes in httpd.conf 
and other config files...
They can change:
Error 404 message
Add ssi processing of .html and .htm files

All they need to do is upload a .htaccess file with this in it:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourname.com/path/to/your_404error.htm
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html
AddType text/html .htm
AddHandler server-parsed .htm 

I wonder what other extras can be added with .htaccess --  I've seen users 
change the directory index (instead of index.html) and i've seen users enable 
cgi's in all directories.
