[users@httpd] PROPFIND record in access_log of apache2 under windows

Hi all,
	Last weekend, I've seen in my access_log many records like:

 "x.x.x.x - - [11/Jun/2006:00:09:14 +0200] "PROPFIND /pub/ HTTP/1.1" 405 325
"-" "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600"

	This is in apache2 under windows:

	What does it mean? is it a malicious action like denial of service?

best regards

Then I would think this is regular background noise.
Anyway: As long as you do not offer DAV, you should be safe in this
particular case.

Most probably not, if x.x.x.x belongs to your LAN.
Background: If a windows box mounts a share (/pub/, in your case), it
thinks that there might be a WebDAV share also.
Stupid behaviour.
