Statusmap logos, ignore hostextinfo.cfg

[Bruce]

Hi,

I dont know if you have solved this yet, but there are two things you
may want to check:
1. The logos are in the logos directory (obvious but can be overlooked)
I think they need the GD versions (correct me if im wrong) or they wont
display.
2. If you are authentication on the system you need to ensure that the
user viewing the status map has permission to view the hosts, we
encounted the exact same problem when we setup a local monitor to show
whats happening. Normally we login with a username and password which
says what access we have however the monitor couldnt handle this so we
removed it just for this machine and the logos disappeared.     Our
simple fix for this was to set an option which said anyone not
authenticated has permission to see all hosts. (Theres an option in
cgi.cfg for this, cant remember what it is however (sorry))

Hope that helps a little,
