I have been asked twice now to show my own robot.txt and .htaccess file...
Just be sure to rename the files and the contents, and if it brakes your site bitch to your host and not me, and if I am your host then you did something wrong.
Please not all I do is take the default htaccess.txt and rename it to .htaccess and then take this line
RewriteEngine On
and replace with
RewriteBase /
Options +FollowSymLinks
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.joomlamafia.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^joomlamafia\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.joomlamafia.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.shtml\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.joomlamafia.com/ [R=301,L]

Your sitemap automatically discovered by configuring it in your Robots.txt file.
It is simple and easy to do, you’ll just need to know the URL or web address of your sitemap.
First, open your Robots.txt file on your server for editing. Then you will need to add the following line to the end of the file (it can be anywhere, but the end is probably a good place).
Sitemap: http://www..com/sitemap.xml
Save the Robots.txt file with the new line for the sitemap URL. There you go! Your whole file may look something like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /somefolder/
Disallow: /somethingelse/
Sitemap: http://www.joomlamafia.com/sitemap.xml
Search engines already come to your Robots.txt file when they visit your domain, so on their next crawl they will automatically find your sitemap file.
If you have a new site/domain you will probably still want to submit the sitemap URL to the search engines. To submit you can either submit the URL through their interfaces or use a ping.
Submit Sitemap to Google or Ping Google with your Sitemap
Submit Sitemap to Yahoo or Ping Yahoo with your Sitemap
Submit Sitemap to MSN Live.com

So you figured out how to rename your htaccess.txt to .htaccess and your loving your SEF. Google is indexing your site, you have 20K pages listed on the search engines. But you decide to slightly change that SEF URL and BAMB
tons and tons of 404's
Or you don't like when people goto http://joomlamafia.com you want them to go to http://www.joomlamafia.com (go on click both links and watch what happens you cant go to http://joomlamafia.com without being redirected to http://www.joomlamafia.com can you?
You should really consider doing this because google among other bots will consider joomlamafia.com and www.joomlamafia.com 2 different websites because infact they are. This is how I do it. I also redirect any errors to the homepage to.
RewriteBase /
Options +FollowSymLinks
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.joomlamafia.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^joomlamafia\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.joomlamafia.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.shtml\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.joomlamafia.com/ [R=301,L]
This should help you out quite a bit.
