FYI, if you happen to be running Apple's OS X, which is BSD under the hood, apache comes with it, installed. It's just not turned on by default, which is a good thing. -- tbone1 And remember, if he succeeds, so what. - Chick McGee	[reply]

I am not running OS X so I don't have a clue why apache on OS X is not a good thing? Security concerns?	[reply]

turned-on by default is not a good thing. Webservers require careful and thoughtful configuration before allowing them to expose your computer network to the world. This is the major cause of Windows security flaws (RPC is, by default, turned-on and trusts everything) Update: My issue with RPC isn't that it's turned on ... it's that it's too trusting. And, it's not the only thing that's turned on by default in Windows that shouldn't be. In fact, it's almost impossible to turn some of the stuff off. It's not like Windows is well-documented or anything ... </rant> ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety.
