there are numerous permissions problems with the source for Web hosting 
space.  One of the projects have worked on (IP cop) has had the twiki 
repeatedly wiped by miscreants ( rm -rf ) and every time of had to try 
to replace someone's password, it's a hair tear of copying files and 
then the leading and replacing etc. rather than simply editing.

it's really not a good idea.

[topic drift] if someone with knowledge about webdav could share how to 
configure Apache and place it in the wiki, it would be much appreciated.
