with the superuser account there is nothing like being "locked out", even with a "broken" user folder, however you define "broken" for a user folder. your scheme seems to suggest a site structure in which normal users will never browse anything at the root of your site. that's a general site structure question that seems to go a little beyond what chris asked in the first place... :) jens On Saturday, July 21, 2001, at 05:43 , Jim Penny wrote:

However, I would recommend that you never do this. The only user(s) that belongs in root is/are your top-level administrator(s). Create a protected folder, or something like that to put your real users in. Use whatever user-folder you want here.
It is pretty general experience that users do not care about the extra component in the path. All they want is an URL that pops them to wherever they should begin.
But, you never want to have your admin account locked out because a user folder is broken. And acl_users remains the most tested user folder.
You do have to make sure that Data.fs is well-protected!
