While you're at it, go to ftp.pht.com:/pub/turbolinux-2.0-updates/i386 and
get the latest apache-1.3.1 package, which fixes the 'sioux' DoS attack
bug.  And, add:

CheckSpelling on

to your httpd.conf file and then you can make typos in URLs on your
server, and the server will automatically fix them and redirect you to the
right URL (strange that someone would have thought to make this an apache
module, but.. it's kind of neat :) ).

BTW, which distribution puts apache's pidfile in /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs
??  or is that the apache default when you build from a clean source tree?
