I put some dbug statements in the fnmatch function and could see that it was being called, and being called with the full path name (although I didn't realize the significance), and the correct glob pattern. But it didn't match! What you said explains that.
I'm not on the new-httpd mailing list, but I do pick up the archive and read through it regularly. You and Ken are two of the most prodigious patchers and I'd like to thank you for allot of what Apache is! I'd also like to add that I think XML would be a great idea for the 2.0 config file format. Thanks
