If you're interested in messing with the User-Agent strings in msn.com's logs, you might want to check out siege: http://www.joedog.org/siege/index.html Siege is a web server testing utility: it creates lot of hits to test the server. You can configure the User-Agent string it sends in the config file. Of course, this accomplishes almost except filling up their logs with crap. But siege is a nifty tool -- I'm surprised there's no Debian package. On a separate note, I put my own webserver under siege, and it handled a simulated 200 users without a single dropped connection. Yay!
