To the poster asking about turning Apache's so called "advertising" off, I find this to be an interesting question. It is not really advertising in the strict sense of the word. It is what transpires during the http protocol exchange. In this exchange, among other elements, machine and web server software info is exchanged. Here is a typical example of such an exchange:
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.trismegistus.net HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 22:50:55 GMT Server: Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Linux-Mandrake/1.3mdk) mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.5a PHP/4.0.6 Last-Modified: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 17:58:38 GMT ETag: "15cf4-d45-3c8f934e" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 3397 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html So you see that this is really a form of identification, not "advertising". It is necessary for the exchange of this info so that one machine can "talk" to another, using http, and ask for the web page that the web server is running for the public. After all this having been said, I am not sure you can or would want to turn this communication off. Maybe the resident Apache guru, Vincent, can share some wisdom with us on this issue. BTW why do you want to turn this feature off? aka Dr John -- J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT Network/System Administration -Art is the illusion of spontaneity-
