   Interesting!  I also had some probes: 
error_log:[Sun Jul 14 23:41:56 1996] httpd: access to
/www/httpd/cgi-bin/phf failed for sentry.wood.com, reason: script does not
exist from - 
error_log:[Mon Jul 15 06:37:45 1996] httpd: access to
/www/httpd/cgi-bin/phf failed for sentry.wood.com, reason: script does not
exist from - 
error_log:[Mon Jul 15 09:42:55 1996] httpd: access to
/www/httpd/cgi-bin/phf failed for sentry.wood.com, reason: script does not
exist from - 
error_log:[Mon Jul 15 10:43:19 1996] httpd: access to
/www/httpd/cgi-bin/phf failed for sentry.wood.com, reason: script does not
exist from - 
   What is interesting about this is not only did the probes come
about the same time as on Larry's system, but these log entries represent
4 of my virtual domains.  They tried the same probe on each one.  They
never did try my main domain.  I had deleted phf after the vulnerability
reports anyway.
