Hello,

This morning, root received an e-mail from the cron daemon as the following:

--------------------------------

Subject: Cron <root> run-parts /etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.daily:00webalizer:

Warning: Truncating oversized referrer field

--------------------------------

I haven't changed anything to cron or to my intranet website (I'm assuming that's what the webalizer is about) in the last few days.

I did do a reboot yesterday which was the first one in a few weeks.

Does anybody know what this message is?

Some numbnuts is probing your web server. If you look through your access_logs you'll probably find a very long referrer URL. Webalizer is choking on it and truncating it, not a big deal.
