This helps a lot. I know about the robots.txt trick, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where to put it. I'm using Mac OSX (Leopard), and as you know, the server is inside of a Preference Panel. I've dug into that "package" (Apple lingo), but I can't quite figure out what's the root server directory where I'd put the robots.txt file. My guess is that it'd be in /Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/HTML/ but that only seems to have the skins.
My sense is that if I can figure out where to put that file, I'll be all set. As for having it open to the world, I've never had a problem, and if Google, et al aren't spidering it, it's really only findable if I give ppl the info for it. (Worst case solution in that respect, since I invite ppl to it, is just to password it if need be, but that's a pain, esp when I access it with a tablet device). I flushed the verbose logs, so I don't have the IP number of the Google bot, but I did do a name lookup and it indeed resolved to a google address. -- rfrost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rfrost's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43741 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
