The problem tho, is it doesn't the site-admin and the user in a directory,
and any other site are in fact all owned by different users, so setting
FollowSymLinks never works anyhow, except for links within the same site,
which doesn't really help any...

As much as people gripe and groan about the machines, cobalt's default
config is at least reasonably safe, and unlikely to get most people into
trouble..

i forget to put toast in it ;)
