No fix required. This really isn't security related but you might think
it is, so here goes...
Webalizer has an internal limit to how long a "referrer" it accepts.
The referrer field in the log entry (one entry for each line) is too
long for the field so it's telling you it's truncating.
Since Webalizer's field is long enough to accept most refrrers, this
might very well be a code red worm attempt it's truncating, but that's
okay, we're not vulnerable <smile>.
