Hi Paul

Webalizer 1.3 has a bug in it :(   Well more accuratly, the cobalt script that looks after webalizer has a bug in it !
Try here for a solution to the bug I wrote a long while back:
    http://www.uk2raq.com/raqfaq/raqfaqshow.php?faq=83

Once you have done that, and then webalizer will not overwrite your .htaccess every night.

You can then create an empty .htaccess for the site, and webalizer will then ignore it from that point on!!
    echo -n >.htaccess
