	Root directory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To use the example of a physical file cabinet, if the separate drawers in the file cabinet are represented as the highest level of sub-directories in the file system, then the room the file cabinet is in may be representated as the root directory.
		That is, the other directories may be inside it, but the root directory cannot go in any other directories, at least in that file system.
		Confusingly, it is not a root directory in the sense of this article, but rather the home directory of the Superuser (conventionally known as "root").

	What is directory traversal?
		Directory traversal is one such exploit which lets attackers access restricted directories, execute commands and view data outside the normal Web server directory where the application content is stored.
		The root directory prevents attackers from executing files such as cmd.exe on Windows platforms or accessing sensitive files such as the "passwd" password file on Unix platforms, as these files reside outside of the root directory.
		The problem is that the IIS root directory enforcer did not check for escape codes and allowed that request to execute.

	NFS-Root-Client Mini-HOWTO
		The purpose of this Mini-Howto is to explain how to create client root directories on a server that is using NFS Root mounted clients.
		When building a client's root directory, and trying to limit ourselves to the minimum client size, we mainly focus on which files we can share, or mount from the server.
		The first (most common) concept, is to mount the whole server root directory under a local directory, and then just change the path or link the relevant directories there.

	The root filesystem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The root filesystem should generally be small, since it contains very critical files and a small, infrequently modified filesystem has a better chance of not getting corrupted.
		A corrupted root filesystem will generally mean that the system becomes unbootable except with special measures (e.g., from a floppy), so you don't want to risk it.
		If there are many kernel images, the directory can easily grow rather big, and it might be better to keep it in a separate filesystem.

		There are two general categories of CVS root directories (recall), personal (for private projects) and for shared projects.
		This creates the named directory and makes it into a "CVS root directory", which basically means that it creates a directory structure and a bunch of files you'll most likely never need to look at directly.

	David Wang : HOWTO: Use IIsWebFile to Securely Run CGI in /cgi-bin from the root directory
		In particular, root directory does not need to allow script nor executable, yet requests to the root's default document can execute a script...
		The AccessFlags modification is why the root does NOT need script/executable permissions - because we already set those permissions on the specific URL of "/Document.foobar" that is being executed as the default document.
		You can view setting script/executable permissions at the virtual directory level as setting it at the parent URL and "inheriting" it to any child URL resource - we are simply doing the reverse here to get more control.
