It's a windoz xp home edition box getting dns via dial-up. > At least I think I'm saying that correctly. I checked your original message again. It says something about some SwamiSalami hostname. Is that by any chance the 'ServerName' of the main server? That is what mod_unique_id is trying to resolve. If no ServerName is set, it takes the hostname of the computer. > The apache manual entry for mod_unique_id didn't say a whole lot.

This is used by mod_usertrack to generate a session id. There are some other modules that also use this feature, but I can't think of any off-hand. It's also convenient if you use an log-analyzer that checks whether there are duplicate lines. You can log the created id in a separate field and thus make sure that "the same file requested twice within a second, from the same host, by the same browser" (think "/images/spacer.gif") is something else then "a duplicate logline in the file". In a nutshell: if you don't care about mod_usertrack or wrongly detected duplicate loglines, you have no use for mod_unique_id. Any other apache module requiring it, will complain soon enough, but since you have it running without - you seem to have no such dependency. -- Melvyn ======================================================= FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 root@sarevok.webteckies.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 ======================================================= [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/ypaCOv9JNmfFN5URAs0XAJ92yd0HNnmpwXc214MbWYtIGGbiYgCgk333 Kb2N5gRFfAG79JlOsL0O/yY= =IYjo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
