hey guys,

this is probably a really silly question, but i can't come up with 
results from google'in (probably because it's not possible), but is 
there a way to get apache to mask itself as something else?  like, when 
i do this:

[ryanwheaton at ryan 11:02:39 ryan]$ telnet my.webserver.com 80
Trying 192.168.15.10...
Connected to my.webserver.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2003 17:05:27 GMT
Server: Apache
Connection: close
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

is there a way to set it to say something else than "Server: Apache"??

i looked around the httpd.conf file a bit, but didn't really come up 
with anything.
