wow, that's cool.  I'm still not sure why there's not a "tunnel by 
default" option somewhere.

That's cool.  I'm pleased to hear the rationale and it makes total sense 
to have defaults set for ultra novice users, since the actual truth is 
that an expert user will simply type "cp ~/music/file 
/var/www/html/music" instead.  The only complaint is that it seems EASY 
to make it possible to change your default behavior and costs very 
little.  But that's more of a philosophical question and doesn't need to 
be discussed on Fedora-Test-List.

Thanks for indulging me...
