Nicks server is Linux right? Does it appear that the spam was trying to access a Linux directory? There is no such file/directory system in windows, and I'm thinking the spam had to be written specificly for Linux (or Unixclones) to have evoked this response from the server. I dont know much about Linux, but I would expect this to be "a very bad thing" if this is the beginning of a new trend. xponent Yikes!
