Hi all.

I did know that activating .htaccess makes Apache look in all the subdirectories of the DocRoot (or Vhost) to look for .htaccess files and allow inheritence for them

But passing strace on the httpd process shows currious things :

Apache seems to look behind the DocRoot as well, here it is :

[assuming DocRoot is "/home/julien/Bureau/ZFBbook/

html"]
open("/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/julien/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/julien/Bureau/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/julien/Bureau/ZFBook/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/julien/Bureau/ZFBook/html/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 9

That is very curious, can someone tell me the "why" and the "how" ?

Thanks.
