Apache so I would not know.  I can guarantee that thttpd 
will.

  -I just remembered that there's another thing that might befall you 
  when you try this.You often need to specify the uid and gid for the 
  mount point at mount time. Â Here is the command I use to mount a Samba 
  share called "central" on a mount point of the same name after I boot my 
  desktop Linux box:mount -t smbfs -o rw,uid=506,gid=506 
  //192.168.0.12/central central"central" then appears in my tree as the 
  top of the tree on the file server that I shared out. Â My Windows 
  machines map the drive letter "I" to that same point, such that the 
  path$HOME/central/multimediaon my main Linux desktop machine 
  andI:/multimediaon the Windows machines point to the exact 
  same space. Â - JeffJeff Hubbs wrote:
