Problem redirecting 403 Forbidden to 404 Not Found

Question

The pertinent part of my .htaccess looks like this:

Options -Indexes

    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all

Answer 1

This one works as expected for all files/dirs with name started by dot even in subdirectories:

    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All

RedirectMatch 404 \/\..+$
