Files allow deny

Detrimental to my friend?

If I tell my friends to add this to the top of their htaccess file...

<Files *>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# DENY FROM - PUT DENY_LINES HERE
</Files>

So they can ban a few IP's or domains, could it be detrimental to them because of what they may already have in their .htaccess file?

Yes, it could cause problems if:

They use custom error pages.

They already have an "order" directive in their file.

They don't have mod_access loaded (unlikely).

Their server is not configured with AllowOverride Limit (or All).

I guess its onward to personal customization.

Thanks Jim.
