Been getting an annoying number of these in my httpd logs today - it botches up my log analyser program.
i just installed the following in my apache configs to get rid of it: # control logging SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/default.ida?" dontlog SetEnvIf Request_Method "SEARCH" dontlog and then later on... CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined env=!dontlog between the two of them, they were consuming an absurd amount of space in my /var/log partitions. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
