Hi, I suggest you use mod_rewrite (I assume you use Apache) to let Apache return a favicon.ico file for any directory. I've set this up at http://www.govteen.com, and it goes like this (stick this into a VirtualHost entry) ---snip--- RewriteEngine On RewriteRule favicon.ico$ /images/favicon.ico [L] ---snip--- This, of course, requires you to stick the favicon.ico file in /images :D Enjoy! --Rink ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Meyer" <mwm@mired.org> To: "Jim Freeze" <jim@freeze.org> Cc: <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 9:40 AM Subject: RE: FreeBSD daemon as an icon? > Jim Freeze <jim@freeze.org> types: > > The copy I received as 4846 bytes and I placed it in the same folder as > > my index.html page.
