Would .htaccess work also for expired accounts then,

could operators/roots do something about them? We still have
tons of users entering, say, interiot and soxred's tools and
getting slightly unhelpful results.
The "User account expired" messages are generated by
https://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/puppet/trunk/puppet/modules/webserver/fi…
which replaces the bottom of /etc/htaccess. It's certainly
possible to exempt some user accounts and add special redi-
rects for them. The bigger problem for a move of abandoned
tools to /anywhere/ is however, as Magnus said, if the
source code is properly licensed. soxred93 for example has
set a default license of MIT (but
http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/ looks pretty empty), while
interiot has no default license, but
/home/interiot/public_html/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate de-
clares itself as "[[Public domain]]". Just redirecting to a
working tool should pose no problems, though.
