[Zope] rewrite and access

[Jens Vagelpohl]

hi guy,

what you're experiencing could be alleviated by following this little tip on
the zope site:

http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/docs/suse_cgi

SuSE linux comes with an apache configuration file that does not allow cgi
scripts to be executed in the designated cgi-bin directory. how's that for
intelligent? even if you don't have SuSE you might want to check your
httpd.conf for that.
