Re: {bb} Larrd apache script

[Misty Stanley-Jones <misty@borkholder.com>]

Now I'm really confused.  Is this a server-side script?  I think Apache does 
have some kind of statistics page that you can enable somehow (through a 
module?)  I am not an Apache expert.  I don't have LARRD installed on any 
clients at all and hope I don't have to.  I will await some expert advice.
