Re: Temporary Files and Web Sites (swp, ~, etc)

Here's another thing:  Don't put your db usernames/passwords in any file
that is accessable from the web.  (the don't have to be)    If some
other bonehead admin happens to replace your http.conf with a generic
one, you don't want all your blocked files showing up automagically.

Secondly, be aware that if you've got embedded usernames/passwords for
db access on your system, they are generally not safe from other users
of the system.
