Description Charlie Nolan 2008-10-03 00:22:14 UTC

kdebase pulls in www-misc/htdig.  htdig, as part of its install, places files in /var/www/localhost/.  This normally wouldn't cause a problem, but when a webserver (e.g. Apache) is installed and running, these files and scripts can be accessed externally.

There should be a way to disable this behavior, ideally as the default.

Reproducible: Always

Looks like htdig can be configured to for a different directory:

http://www.htdig.org/config.html

Actually there is not file collision the gentoo apache config script just looks for files in /var/www/localhost/ if it sees any it aborts.  Probably should be fixed.
