 * I have a problem where I am unable to post information on a recent Debian advisory.
 * It’s completely odd – I can post fine in my blog for everything else, but when
   I try and repost information from the advisory, then no matter what category 
   was selected, I receive a 403.
 * “Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/post.php on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.33 Server at [http://www.securitywatch.co.uk](http://www.securitywatch.co.uk)
   Port 80″
 * I find this completely odd and am at a lost as to why. Any suggestions come to
   mind?

 * Ask your host about their `mod_security` setup; they might be filtering out your
   requests due to the presence of suspicious security-type strings.
 * My host throws a 406 whenever I write a post with the word “.htaccess” – I have
   to remove the initial dot to make it work.

 * Many thanks for that – problem isolated – now trying to correct for.
