config files

Hi,

I have a file outside of the web root and this file contains db
username/passwds, and other config stuff. I include this file as needed in
the scripts. Is this a secure way of doing this? Would the contents of
this file ever be visible to web users under normal or abnormal conditions?

Thanks, Mike
