Last time I added Frontpage to Apache (a number of years ago) it toasted
security on that Linux box. The way I discovered it was that all of a sudden
one of the web developers login name owned the home directory instead of
root. Plus some other dir.

The developer was not even very computer literate, he was just learning
Frontpage.

That was the last time I installed Frontpage... It's possible it's better now,
though I don't see what motivation microsoft has to make it work better.
