httpd access problems

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

I note just now that logwatch reports this:

 --------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------

Indicating that someone tried to read those files, which they should be able 
to, but were refused permissions.  The directory 'nitros9' is a softlink 
from /var/www/html/gene/nitros9 to that directory in /opt, which has these 
permissions:
[root at coyote logrotate.d]# ls -l --lcontext /var/www/html/gene

All the files that are referenced in the 403 no perms are owned by the user I 
must be in order to make cvs write access work.  And that user is his own 
group also.

Seems like the fix should be easy, but I'm used up.  Help please?
