Get used to it. Web server logs get flooded with such
things, both malicious attempts as well as indirectly-malicious
attempts -- that is, folks with (usually Windoze) computers that have
been infected by a worm that scans IP addresses for other vulnerable
computers. In this case it isn't necessarily somebody *with* a pc,
but somebody (or a virus/worm) that's looking *for* a vulnerable pc.
Probably much more important than watching what comes
knocking at your door is keeping track of any security updates in the
server software that you're running, and don't run services that you
don't use -- that way you won't have so many things to look after.
