Just a lurker, but a quick question..  I recently performed a scan of my
domain with Nikto, results are below..

+
/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll?method=list+documents%3a3%2e0%2e2%2e1706&servi
ce
%5fname=&listHiddenDocs=true&listExplorerDocs=true&listRecurse=false&listFil
es=t
rue&listFolders=true&listLinkInfo=true&listIncludeParent=true&listDerivedT=f
alse
&listBorders=false - We seem to have authoring access to the FrontPage web.

It's reporting FrontPage authoring access..  ..this isn't good, obviously.
But when I try to open my web in FrontPage, it's asking for authentication.
Is Nikto mis-reporting, or is there some other method of subversive
authoring I'm unaware of .. ?

If Nikto isn't mis-reporting, would upgrading to the latest versions of
FrontPage fix the issue, or .. ?

Appreciate any advice anyone has to offer..
