What it is fishing for is a version of phpBB in use on the site that it can exploit - likely to make posts in the forums creating links to various websites. There are bots out there that go around fishing for phpBB installs (and other forum software) that it can exploit for this purpose. Rest assured, your site isn't the only one getting them.... I had a site with an install of phpBB that was open to such exploits that we are still cleaning crap out of. Michael Roush [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The power of the Web is in its universality.
