Well then, I'll take a look at you suggestion, Joachim, seems reasonable. Too bad most developers actually *prefer* FTP over ssh, so it's going to be difficult to convince them. Well, looks like I'll just have to implement... they'll get used to it anyway =)
Talking about the Apache2 port, as soon as I get the grasp of porting software to OpenBSD I'll try to do that, would be quite helpful. Erm... just a lazy question, but lighttpd has support for DAV?
