Hi Al,
Have been playing with mrtg on Fedora. It provides a 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf file with

Alias /mrtg /var/www/mrtg
 

<Location /mrtg>
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from localhost
     # Allow from .example.com
</Location>



This consistently *denies* access from localhost to /mrtg directory. 
When I set Allow line to

     Allow from localhost 127.0..1

all is well and works as expected. This is surely a bug? I looked in 
Bugzilla and found nothing. Any hints clues or confirmation appreciated.

Cheers,
Michael
