Okay, It seems I'm just dumb.  I've followed the directions on the
(http://www.uk2raq.com/raqfaq/raqfaqshow.php?faq=83), and still the
.htaccess file is overwritten.  Been, kicking this around for nearly a week
now.  I've tried everything I know I even tried commenting out the lines to
see if that would work and no luck.

Any how I'm at a loss at what to do.  Would be nice if there was a way to
just do away with the .htaccess file as many of my clients could care less
if their site is accessible to all or not.  For the one's that care I can
always install my own .htaccess file for each site's stats area.

Assistance needed.
