Hi,
Looking at the root user mail I noticed the following appears frequently
in the logfiles:

 --------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------
 
A total of 2 sites probed the server
  81.51.104.14
  81.10.211.182
 
A total of 2 unidentified 'other' records logged
  GET /sumthin HTTP/1.0 with response code(s) 404
  SEARCH
/\x90\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x

The 'SEARCH' line goes on and on for pages (only shown a portion of it
for brevity). I have never seen this before and would like to know what
is happening and should i block the sites that the probe comes from. The
web server is only for my personal development.	

Cheers,

John
