Thanks for the follow-up.   I've avoided using Webalizer, or any other traffic analysis tool, up 'til now because I wanted to keep my RaQ "pristine" for the Cobalt updates.  I figured (apparently incorrectly) that the less I mucked with installing other non-Cobalt software, the more likely it would be for the Cobalt patches and enhancements to work properly.

So I think I'll take the route similar to yours (I bet you didn't think of yourself as a trailblazer...) and install some third-party traffic analysis software, since the Cobalt stuff doesn't appear to work properly.

Thanks again.s
