In fact if you use vlogin plugin you can use different Alias lines and control the appearance (Thanks Paul) along with a lot more. You should not have to change the source files at all unless Red Hat has done something truly strange. If you changed the source files, change them back and modify the apache.conf file or its equivalent. Hope this helps. ------ William R.
