First, no, there was no tomfoolery implicated in copying the file. Just take an existing Apache logo image file and copy it from the Unix command-line. Or copy the file to the system from a Windows PC using any utility like FTP or SCP.

On the system, the result of an "ls" of that file looks like this :
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root   2326 2004-11-20 21:16 joaquín.gif

with the locale of that user being
LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15

Next, nothing personal implied, but what you are saying above is a singularly mono-cultural point of view. Why would a path composed entirely of printable characters of the latin iso-8859-1 alphabet imply a high likelihood of someone trying to fool the server ?

So if I try to allow Apache to serve documents from my home directory /home/andré/public_html, I should trigger 403 errors ?
