Last week I got my .htaccess file working the way I want it and since then, I've been checking my 403s for anomolies.
From - 26/Nov/2002:13:04:12 (-0800) - to - 25/Nov/2002:04:10:02 (-0800) (approximately 34 hours) my logs produced 21 unique IP visits of either "grub-client" or "grub-client-0.3.0; Crawl your own stuff with [grub.org"....]
What's the deal with these grubs? Are they a browser of some kind? From what I've read they aren't what one would want hanging all over their servers, but beyond that I know very little about them.
Could someone give me/us the skinny on these pesky little critters?
It wasn't until I banned them that I began to notice so many unique, wide afield, IPs and it has my curiosity peaking :-)
Thank You.

It's a free-to-all spider. It's not necessarily malicious, but it can be a nuisance.
Follow the link provided in grub's user-agent string for more info.
