Re: SSI/server-side includes and symbolic links/SymlinkIfOwnerMatch (Apache Users)

I think the SymLinks option is valid only in the directory-file context. Not Applicable in SSI. I am not clear about this.

My objective is to have SymlinkIfOwnerMatch apply; I actually did try
putting -FollowSymLinks in a top level <Directory /> config, but the SSI
include *still* followed the symlink.

My question is whether or not it is expected that SSI includes will ignore
the Apache symbolic link following configuration, or if it is a bug? (Or
if I'm just doing something stupid, which is always a possibility)...

Thanks...
