Got some myself. I posted a post about this a few weeks ago and the
moderator said that many worms out today like Ago/Phatbot use the
WebDAV vulnerability in the worm. I just ignore them and rotate out my
logs more because that particular scan takes like 34k of log space.

Be careful, that may very well be Exactly What They Want You to Do.  If
/you/ were going to compromise a particular box, wouldn't you do all you
could to discourage its admin from reading logs -- or even better, speed
up the frequency of rotation?

take care,
