The most commonly used program for this purpose is 'webstone'. ftp://decuac.dec.com/pub/www/webstone.tar.Z However, it doesn't compile very well under FreeBSD, to say the least. I've patched it up (if there's an official patch of this to FreeBSD, I couldn't find it, but if you can, I'd encourage you to use it instead) and put it in my ftp directory: ftp://ftp.aros.net/pub/util/freebsd/webstone.tar.gz The original was seriously weird, so I wonder if I actually got the right package. Anyway, it's a semi-functional port. It's not by any means a real FreeBSD-style "port" but it compiles. If there's demand for something better, I'll actually clean it up and submit it to the ports collection. Let me know. And let me know how this port works for you. I just did it and haven't really had much time to test it, though it appears to be functioning correctly.
