hi,

thanks for the replies from mike andrew & nikolai lusan regarding my queries
on 2 bootable linux partitions. :)

here's another curious idea i'm exploring... pls pitch in your suggestions.

i'm curious if it's possible to restrict directory access of the apache web
server by just turning the knobs in httpd.conf or/and srm.conf or/and
access.conf?

let's say i allow EVERYONE to access,
http://10.10.10.1/index.html
and,
i want to ONLY allow users in 10.10.10.5.0/24 to have access to,
http://10.10.10.1/secrets/index.html


can this kind of config be done by configuring HTTPD (apache) CONF files? or
do i have to incorporate "ipchains" rules??

Cheers,
yh

Cheers,
Yanghwee
