I can't help you with the above, but:

robots.txt is a file telling the 'robots' sent out by
search engines how
to behave on your site.  You can exclude directories
and files from
their indexing and that type of thing.  Google's
indexing  'robot' is
called googlebot.  Inktomi is, I think, slurp. You may
have a refernence
in httpd log files to these as well. Anyway, not much
to worry about,
especially as you give 404 response when it is
requested.

Cool!  Thanks Craig and Shockwave! I feel better about
the robot thing now.


What about getting my sendmail stuff back into the
LogWatch?  Any ideas on
that?  I'm not sure why it all went away unless
everyone in creation that
had been trying to spam me and use my server as a
relay suddenly stopped.
(Wouldn't that be nice?)

Thanks!
Corey
