-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Our site denies access by a IP address range. A couple days ago I had a load of accesses by one of the addresses in that network, 64.37.231.140. Mostly, it works as expected. I am confused by some of the errors recorded, a sample is shown below. The first line is expected: Yay! it was denied access! The next two lines indicate otherwise. Is a path's existence checked before accessibility? There are about 1150 of the configuration lines, and about 20 of the no-file lines.
