And one last thing : this is not a security flaw in Macromedia Contribute,
but a malpractice from the webmasters. If they read the doc and learn how
to write a 3 lines .htaccess, they wouldn't have this information exposed.

I disagree. Files containing passwords do not belong anywhere below the
document root. .htaccess is just a workaround for what's possibly a 
design flaw in Macromedia Contribute.

Bye,
