You need to do a little bit of Perl programming, modifying the 
page_start_html subroutine to include whatever you want. Do notice that 
most web servers can't serve graphics files out of the cgi-bin directory, 
so you need to locate these under the ordinary document root.

First, this: Use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Depending on your name 
resolution setup, the machine might have trouble recognizing
`localhost'.

If that doesn't work, check that gnatsd isn't dying when it is started.
Try 
logging in as the `gnats' user and run gnatsd from the command line.

Okay, looking over at my gnatsd.conf, it has the following 'exact'
lines:

----
localhost:edit:
arabeyes.org:edit:
4.40.3.117:edit:
----

So... what now?

This means that you are at least getting through to port 1529, but it
seems 
that gnatsd is closing the connection immediately. You probably don't
have 
'localhost' in the host access list in the gnatsd.conf file in you 
gnats-adm directory. Access control documentation is a mess in GNATS 3,
so 
it is understandable if you are confused about this. This is far better
in 
the GNATS 4 manual.

This should do nicely.
