Summary:  Login page get's indexed by search engines

Original Submission:  The login page can show up on Google ( 
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:/groupware/+-+Login ) and allow potential 
hackers an easy way to know if you're running a certain version of phpgw.



the following patch #2092 adds <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> 
to the login page templates which should prevent most search engines from index 
the login page.  I think the login page is only page at risk here since normaly 
other pages can't be deep linked into, and in the cases where they can you 
probable do want them indexed.
