Yep, I have a local linux box that I experiment on, and apache is very easy to
set up (relative to other Linux components ;)  Apache is installed, it's just
not set up for user HTML at the moment

Good question... Red Hat 5.2, when you first install it, doesn't shadow the
passwords.  I know the shadow suite is installed, it's just not implemented.

I'll check out Altavista (or astalavista.box.sk, a dedicated exploit search
engine).
