Bug#1072729: Acknowledgement (apache2: misleading comment in default /etc/apache2/apache2.conf about accessibility of root filesystem)

[Oliver Weihe <oliver.weihe@delta.de>]

Hi again,

similar issue with .htaccess and .htpasswd - a simple symlink and Apache 
happily serves the file(s) so the following lines don't really prevent this.

--- 8< ---
#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
        Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
--- 8< ---

And btw: why not this?
--- 8< ---
<FilesMatch "^\.(htaccess|htpasswd)">
--- 8< ---


Regards,
 Oliver
