    I can't help you with the above, but:

    robots.txt is a file telling the 'robots' sent out by search engines how
    to behave on your site. You can exclude directories and files from
    their indexing and that type of thing. Google's indexing 'robot' is
    called googlebot. Inktomi is, I think, slurp. You may have a refernence
    in httpd log files to these as well. Anyway, not much to worry about,
    especially as you give 404 response when it is requested.
