No, that's not what I'm talking about. The 'Options FollowSymLinks' does
allow me to follow the symlink, but only of the directory permissions are at
least r-x for world! Because this directory is NFS mounted all over the
network, I have the permissions set to 770. Accessing this directory from
Netscape does not allow for Unix permission checking, especially since the
httpd server is running as user 'nobody' and not in the correct group!
I need some way of verifying that the enduser is authorized to see the
directory at the Unix permissions level for groups.
