[webmin-l] Unusual Error

[Terry A. <hm...@oz...>]

Hi again,
	In the Webmin logs, I spotted a couple of these attempts earlier today:

[20/Aug/2006:20:44:55 +1000] [66.160.144.222]

//etc/passwd 
: File not found

	Now the log quite clearly states that the file wasn't found, 
but not having seen these before, I wonder is there anything I need 
to nail down or what they are trying to achieve apart from trying to 
get at the /etc files?

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
