Are these rules ok?

[shri at devlib.org]

Igor,

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. 

The setup is as follows.

/ <-- Wordpress is installed and shows the main page and content
/forum/ <-- vBulletin
/classifieds/ <-- Photopost 
/scripts/ <-- perl CGI scripts 
/resources/ <-- files built by the Gossamer Links CGI package
/resources/Detailed/ <-- More files built by the CGI package

I am using 0.7.24 which is the latest -devel branch I found in the Freebsd
ports. 

Should I try a newer one?

Thanks once again for replying. Have fun on your vacation!

Regards,
Shri
