How do you view the htaccess rules generated by WP 2

Login
Manage > files .. look on the right.

Or use your ftp client and download the file

I meant the rules generated by wordpress that are dynamically generated….

RewriteRule . /index.php

WordPress 2.0 only uses these rules now:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php

i.e. hand everything that isn’t a real file or directory off to index.php.

Before WP2, mod_rewrite would do the work and parse permalinks and then hand them off to WordPress.

Now, WordPress parses the requested URL itself and displays what’s requested.

you can use var_dump($wp_rewrite->rules); to view it.
