    	Oh heck no!!!  I have no such crap^H^H^H^H tool installed.  I have logs
    of over 500 code red II hits.  The vast majority are returned by apache
    with error 404.  Occasionally, it returns code 200.  I have no idea
    why.  The box is a stock Slackware 7.1 Linux serving only static
    content.  The apache version is 1.3.12.

Well, there are a number of packages that implement Windows functions for UNIX, for example, Sun Microsystems now own Chili!Soft ASP, which is M$ ASP for UNIX. I belive the are similar packages for things besides ASP too.
