Hi Peeyush!
What you are writing about is "cookies". For example when you go to
redhat's site they will "drop a cookie" on you. Look under
"/home/~/.netscape/cookies" there you will find the file that you are
looking for.
If you set netscape to reject all cookies you would not be able to get
into someplace like redhat. So the better method is something I read in
Linux Journal. On pg 6 July '98 is "dealing with cookies". Basicly just do
a soft link to /dev/null, like this "ln -s ~/.netscape/cookies /dev/null".
Then set netscape to take all cookies without telling you. Each new cookie
goes right into the bit bucket and when someone trys to read your cookie
file it shows a blank file.
Hope that helps!
