[cobalt-users] Frontpage, .htaccess and Options None

Frontpage appears to require "AllowOverride +Options +AuthConfig +Somotherstuff", which is not nice, as it allows Options
FollowSymLinks, which I don't want to do.
The only thing it seems to need options for though is the default _vti_bin/.htaccess, which specifies Options None. This line causes
the server to choke with a 500 misconfigured server error, and the error log says "Options not allowed here".
Is there any setting I can use to have Apache ignore Options directives when they are not allowed instead of choking? Then I can set
AllowOverride -Options.
Incidentally, I discovered this while diagnosing an occasion when frontpage was not working for a virtual site. For some reason,
this section is supposed to be added:
<Directory /home/sites/siteNN>
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>
This should have been added for the site, but was not added in my case. Anyone else seen this? It would be nice if the GUI worked,
as we are trying to de-skill routine admin tasks...
Cheers,
