Sorry if this isn't timely, however, we have the Cern 2.18 server running here  
under NS 3.0 for Black H/W and it works quite well.  The docs could use a bit  
more of an explanation as to where to initially store the html files and what  
they should be named, but other than that it works very well. We are running  
the server as a daemon rather than as a inetd process (which is what they  
recommend incidently).

One problem I have encountered is the startup script,

	if [ -f /usr/local/bin/httpd ]; then
       		/usr/local/bin/httpd -p 80 &; echo -n ' httpd' >/dev/console
	fi
	
which is supposed to be added to your /etc/rc.local file to automatically  
startup the httpd at boot time, doesn't seem to and I haven't been able to  
figure out why.  Starting the server manually by entering

	/usr/local/bin/httpd -p 80 &
	
seems to work just fine though.

Hope this helps.

Paolo...
