Do you have mod_dav enabled/installed? I'd personally be concerned - I
would assume that's somebody's frontpage client that they pointed to your
webserver as the datastore ... DAV is not NT/IIS specific - it's an HTTP
related extension for versioning a website. If DAV is installed (perhaps
by default) you may have a hole.

You could test with a tool like frontpage, dreamweaver, or tswebeditor at
http://tswebeditor.at.tf/ to see if you can DAV the site .. or go through
your httpd.conf and find any DAV references...
