I know there's a rewrite rule out there somewhere for Code Red that crashes the offending host. I'm not suggesting you violate the *law* or anything, but if you were to put an index.php that contained code which, say, displayed their IP, the name of their ISP, what OS they were running, etc. and a quick little missive about the possible time they might be spending in jail with Bruno the assmaster, it might put the fear o' $DEITY into some little 15 year old punk.
You would want to make sure the PHP code is safe, of course, since it's running on *your server*, and if you are going to do some experimentation with this stuff, make damned sure Apache is running inside a nice safe jail, so you don't end up with egg on your face. I believe what you want to look at there is called "chroot".
I'm sure there are many on this list who can provide more specific stuff, I'm just throwing out ideas ;-)
I don't even let my NWN Druid use TAUNT, I certainly don't want Apache dancing around in full headress. I'm not that Brave.. The nsiislog is in fact a LOG. The file IS relavent. THAT is my reasoning. One thing is for sure with regards to an index in /sumthin/, they will not get a 404. They will get a directory listing if I chose, but It all depends on relavence. I can't say for sure who or what GET's /sumthin/, but I believe it is a mode that caught-on through the years and was adopted by different folks. I highly doubt I would be the first in history to create that directory, and I haven't yet.
