Yes, works.  I get problems with a PHP application I'm running in a htaccess
protected directory.  I get the user/password challenge when I go into the
protected area.  Then when I click on the link to the application I get the
challenge again and the address reverts to the main site rather than the one
that is being repointed.  Not a real issue though.

The only problem I have is the e-mail section.  I followed the instructions
but I have sendmail.cf instead of sendmail.cw and it's in /etc/mail rather
than /etc.

I added domain.com and www.domain.com to the end (with my domain name) like
it said and it buggered sendmail completely so that it wouldn't even start.

If anyone can throw any light on this I'd love to get this working.
