I hadn't noticed. That's kind of strange, but whoever/whatever they are, they don't seem to be doing much:

Other than that weird incident in August, total bandwidth usage has been very constant.

It's possible that something has gone wrong with phpbb's session accounting, and anonymous sessions aren't expiring correctly. Debian (and by extension, Ubuntu) have a kind of weird mechanism for cleaning up the PHP session dir. Maybe the cron job is broken? Usually that results in email to root, but not always. I'll look into it.

There's a cron job?

Well, nevermind that theory. PHPBB doesn't use the built-in PHP session manager anyway. It does its own internal thing in its database. I guess I have some querying to do -_-

Edit:

Well, there is on Debian Squeeze at least. Debian has tightened permissions on /tmp, at least with respect to the apache php module. Because of this, PHP scripts can't actually delete session files in /tmp, and calling...whichever PHP function does that will fail, throwing a warning every 1,000 or so attempts by default. Instead, Debian has a cron job it installs with PHP that deletes old session files in /tmp every 24 hours (I think?)

I'll guess it's an accounting error regarding Forumrunner or Tapatalk.

Ok, I did some poking around in the database. Definitive answer: the 22 "guests" are the Baidu spider bot. For some reason phpbb isn't correctly identifying these sessions as belonging to baidu, so it isn't hiding them like it normally would.

I'm not quite sure what logic it uses to identify known bots. Baidu changed their spider's user agent string back in May, but that wouldn't be causing this to just now show up. Maybe it's based on netblock + user agent, too? I'll see if I can figure out what the issue is, and if there's a fix for it. In the meanwhile, just ignore it; it's just harmless "behind-the-scenes" stuff that's accidentally leaking onto the proverbial stage.

Update:

Should be fixed. It's recognizing the new baidu agent string, and the guest count dropped to about 10-11 2, which is probably correct.
