Hello, I installed htdig on my system and in its first run it used 1.5 gig of disk space before I stopped it. It was indexing every Debian document on my system, which has quite a few packages installed. I believe the problem is that the default /var/www/index.html has a link to http://localhost/doc/apache/ and htdig is stripping off apache/ and indexing /doc/ . That really isn't what I expected when I installed the htdig package. I suggest that either htdig be configured to skip /doc/ (see my htdig.conf below ... it would probably be better to skip //localhost/doc/ instead of /doc/ which might skip too many files); or that the default /var/www/index.html not reference .../doc/apache/ .
