On closer inspection I think I was wrong and they might be all Firefox 3.6 on Windows: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" though it is a little difficult to marry up the error_log and access_log. There is no pattern in the IP address. -- Graeme Wood, Unix Section of the IT Infrastructure Division, Information Services, The University of Edinburgh Email: [email protected] Phone: +44 131 650 5003 Fax: +44 131 650 6552 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
