    This shouldn't affect robots at all, unless they're indicated. It's preventing the user agent lwp (which is a perl module that can be used with a script to get files) from accessing your site.

    This work-around does not work against today's new Santy variant which spoofs User-Agent.

    Also, Santy appears to exploit the phpBB highlight vulnerability -- but may not exploit the php unserialize vulnerability.

    Do you know what user agent(s) Santy is spoofing?
