Gee, your server sure wants to send a lot of cookies.  I consider receiving
a cookie before getting a statement, or being able to guess (e.g. WEB
shopping), about their use to be an unfriendly act.

The SysAdmin for the domain has installed AccessWatch for maintaining an 
HTML version of hit statistics for the server. This application is doing 
what you mention above. There is no nefarious purpose in trying to get 
you to my page. Check out: http://www.dis.org/access to see what all the 
cookies being sent are being used for.

Sounds like the AUTH_COOKIE module at work again.  Pretty easy to fix.  Just 
comment out the AUTH_COOKIE module (which should not be turned on anyways) in 
the src/Configuration file and recompile.  Keeps people from being cookie-
bombed into the stone age.

<rant align=tech>
AUTH_COOKIE is actually something for excessive user tracking.  It sends a 
cookie for every object sent by the server.  If they have Netscape 3.0 and
are 
tracking such things, it becomes a real pain.  Since few webmasters, if any, 
have log crunchers that will even use that data (or that anyone cares...) it 
is a waste of log space in the first place.  It also annoys many users.
