Well, if you don't have anything in your webroot that shouldn't be there, then you won't have this problem anyway. The above issue mostly affects sites that used installers like Fantastico (and, in retrospect, I had no idea how widespread its usage was when I wrote the that article).

bye, Dirk

Thank you, Just for grins, my logwatch reports daily attempts:

The offending IP will end up in a ipblock statement on a firewall. No Snort signatures for this yet. I am glad you did write the article as it gave deffinintion as to what was going on.
Thank you once again, JohnF
