Well.... Not exactly, at least not on my remaining
RaQ3. I have the following in my access.conf file and
I still can (and do) use .htaccess files to password
protect a few user directories..
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
AuthFailDelay 2000000
</Directory>
What I *do* use to stop those files from being
uploaded in the first place, is this little line in my
proftpd.conf file..
PathDenyFilter
"(\\.ftpaccess)|(\\.htaccess)|(\\.forward)$"
Babs
Thats quite a nice way of doing it, but that still doesnt stop users from
uploading htaccess.txt and then renaming it on the server using there FTP
client.
It looks almost impossible to stop users doing this, basically it gives
them the same access as what shell would.
This is a huge security hole... , how do we fix this???
I call on SUN to patch this hole ASAP!!!
