I have an asp.net application that I am developing with approximately the
following structure:

root/admin/Default.aspx
root/admin/login.aspx
root/skin/foo.master
root/Default.aspx
root/web.config

The web.config declares that accesses to the admin subhierarchy require
authorization, and authorization is handled by admin/login.aspx. In web.config,
the <authentication mode="Forms"> begins on line 21. 

Now admin/login.aspx declares MasterPageFile="../skin/foo.master", and every
attempt to load this page crashes with the following stack trace:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The section <authentication>
can't be defined in this configuration file (the allowed definition context is
'MachineToApplication'). () ( line 21)

The application can be made to work by symlinking ../skin into the admin
directory and then using MasterPageFile="skin/foo.master", avoiding the parent
directory reference.
