Security Incidents: Re: big increase in ftp scanning

        I had three this weekend, one source in common with yours.

(212.83.90.123) cgmd90123.chello.nl
(24.28.122.195) cs28122-195.houston.rr.com
(202.107.222.172) (no PTR record)

        All appear to simply be traversing the tree and looking for writable
directories, rather than probing for compromise.

        This server has been running for just over a month and has had no
probes before this weekend.  Must be that time of the moon.
