+Using MapServer 6.0, why don't my layers show up in GetCapabilities responses or are not found anymore?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+MapServer 6.0 introduces the option of hiding layers against OGC Web Service
+requests.  OGC Web Services can provide powerful access to your geospatial
+data.  It was decided to disable layer level request access as a default.  See
+:ref:`rfc67` provides a full explanation of the changes and implications.
+
+To enable pre-6.0 behaviour, you can add the following to the :ref:`WEB` object's METADATA section in your
+mapfile:
+
+::
+
+  "ows_enable_request" "*"
+
+This will enable access of all layers to all OGC Web Service requests.

 Where do I find my :term:`EPSG` code?
