Well after having decided I don't want to run gallery2 any more I have another question related to it.
I'm getting hundreds of hits (well, attempted hits, it's no longer there) on the old gallery2 site, logged by logwatch as follows:-
It's not a issue really as it's not eating much bandwidth or loading my web site significantly but I was just wondering if anyone knows whether it's a well know security weakness in gallery2 or what? Or is someone just very desperate to look at the pictures on Mandy's blog? :-)
I find that the google webcrawler bot, and a few others, keep hitting a url once they find it even though it may be long gone and now gives a 404. The bots seem unable to take the hint.
You're right! All the recent accesses are from google. I'm sure when I looked a few days ago they weren't but they certainly are now. So I'm even less worried than I was (which wasn't very).
