Hi there,

After I read this mail I checked our logs and the same thing poped up there:

access_log:195.92.95.61 - - [25/May/2001:19:35:34 +0200] "HEAD
/cobalt-images/welcome2.gif HTTP/1.0" 404 0
access_log:195.92.95.61 - - [24/Jun/2001:03:50:57 +0200] "GET
/cobalt-images/welcome2.gif HTTP/1.0" 404 291
error_log:[Fri May 25 19:35:34 2001] [error] [client 195.92.95.61] File does
not exist: /to/vhost/cobalt-images/welcome2.gif
error_log:[Sun Jun 24 03:50:57 2001] [error] [client 195.92.95.61] File does
not exist: /to/vhost/cobalt-images/welcome2.gif

I noticed the IP adress is (probably) the same and it reverses to:

Name:    ariston.netcraft.com
Address:  195.92.95.61

Appearantly somebody just used netcraft to see more information about your
server :)
So no worries :)

I just got this in one of my access_log's today:

  195.92.95.XX - - [26/Jul/2001:10:25:57 -0400] "HEAD
/cobalt-images/welcome2.gif HTTP/1.0" 404 0

It looks like a scan for a Cobalt box.  I don't have one but I haven't
seen this mentioned here before (probably part of some bigger kit I'd
assume).

Cheers,
Ryan
