    Hello Thomas,
    
    I've got them in my logs as well, on my home machine, and some of the
    class C address ranges I administer. The server OS'es include
    Solaris, Linux & FreeBSD. I haven't been able to correlate whether
    these request timeouts are related to a Nimda resource exhaustion on
    the clients end. I usually get hit by the same set of IP's on a
    regular basis, and the ones that I have seen the apache error 408's
    are not in that range.
    
    I don't have any snort data on this, either.

    Subject: HTTP 408 errors
    
    
    I'm getting some unusual Apache 1.3.22 log entries in my access_log.
    I've
    included a semi-sanitized version below. The actual IP differs by a
    few in
    the last quad.
    
    I know the 408 error code is Request Time Out, but...
    
    The server, running Solaris 8_x86, is not loaded at all. Tomcat 4.0.1
    is
    installed, but again not used. There's basically a blank page at the
    address
    as content hasn't been uploaded yet. The log entries do not coincide
    with
    any other access, including CodeRedII or Nimda.
    
    All I've found so far concerning a 408 error is that Nimda through
    resource
    exhaustion can possibly cause it. There have some vague references to
    the
    sadmind worm, too.
    
    Any ideas?
