    Is this a good robots.txt?

    #User-agent: lycra
    #Disallow: /

    #User-agent: *
    #Disallow: /tmp
    #Disallow: /logs

    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    What does the
    User-agent: *
    Disallow:
    tell the spiders? That all are allowed or none?

    If you haven't figured it out by now, I am working with another company to help them. Just going over their stuff. I always thought the above should read

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

    To allow all others....
