    I do appreciate your explaining the special sense in which you used the
    term "protect". When most of us speak about "protecting the content" of
    a Web document root, in the context of a Linux security newsgroup, we
    are thinking primarily of preventing intruders from making unauthorised
    changes or deletions.

    I would suggest that you would be _much_ less likely to waste your time
    and that of others (such as yr. humble correspondent) if you were more
    precise in the future. And would request that you do so. Thank you.
