One thing u gotta remember most of the Admins who handle webservers in a network are also developers since most of the organizations will always need to cut on expenses, and as we know, most of the developers will just look into finishing work and making it work. So if something doesn't run due to httpd.conf, you will find these guys loosening server security, therefore opening holes to the infrastructure.
i am one of the developers who are admin why? because maintaining servers where only internal developed software gives you the power to make security as tighten as possible - and yes security is *always* first not the admins which are developers are the problem crap like wordpress, joomla, phpBB is the problem because these developers have no idea how to secure maintain a server and try to develop software which can be installed by any random fool on whatever webserver without understand the implications thats's why these applications are *strictly* forbidden on any machine i am responsible for, it's enough to write abuse mails each time one of these installations outside got hacked and is starting attacks on 3rd parties
