Easy enough! Changing the default configuration file to exclude all the
reports with links worked. Those hosts that still want them can have the
include line added to their own configuration file.
Thanks for your help!

You mean linking from the Request Report and Referrer Report? Linking is
off
in the executable, although it's turned on again in the default
configuration file.
The best way to set up analog for several virtual hosts is to have a
default
configuration file which contains common commands, and then put only
variations in each host's configuration file. If you've done this, it's
easy
-- just turn linking off in the default configuration file.
If you have linking turned on in each configuration file, you basically
have
two options:
1) Turn it back off in each configuration file. This is a one-minute job
with a Perl script -- try something like
perl -i.bak -pe's/.*LINKINCLUDE/# $&/' [all configs]
2) Compile analog with a mandatory configuration file. This overrides the
commands in all the other config files, and you can turn linking off in
there. The disadvantage is that you can't enable it for individual hosts.
Finally, if what you're really worried about is spiders/robots, note that
the output already uses the robots META tag -- but for added protection,
you
can add the pages to your /robots.txt file.
