<LI><CODE>AuthUserFile</CODE> requires a full pathname. In earlier
versions of NCSA httpd and Apache, you could use a filename
relative to the .htaccess file. This could be a major security hole,
! as it made it trivially easy to make a ".htpass" file in the a
directory easily accessible by the world. We recommend you store
your passwords outside your document tree.

<P>
! <LI>Icons for FancyIndexing broken - well, no, they're not broken, we've
just upgraded the
! icons from flat .xbm files to pretty and much smaller .gif files,
courtesy of
<a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Kevin Hughes</a> at
! <a href="http://www.eit.com";>EIT</a>.
! If you are using the same srm.conf from an old distribution, make sure
you add the new
! AddIcon, AddIconByType, and DefaultIcon commands.
<P>
! <LI>Under IRIX, the "Group" directive in httpd.conf needs to be a valid
group name
! (i.e. "nogroup") not the numeric group ID. The distribution httpd.conf,
and earlier
! ones, had the default Group be "#-1", which was causing silent exits at
startup.<p>
<li><code>.asis</code> files: Apache 0.6.5 did not require a Status header;
it added one automatically if the .asis file contained a Location header.

<LI>Apache does not permit commas delimiting the methods in <Limit>.
!
! <LI>Apache's <CODE><VirtualHost></CODE> treats all addresses as
! "optional" (i.e. the server should continue booting if it can't resolve
! the address). Whereas in NCSA the default is to fail booting unless
! an added <code>optional</code> keyword is included.
!
! <LI>Apache does not implement <CODE>OnDeny</CODE> use
! <a href="../mod/core.html#errordocument"><code>ErrorDocument</code></a>
! instead.
