the point is not that there is something wrong with the cmd.exe

the point is that it is in a place where any intruder can send
it commands - commands like "ftp"  and "dir" and "copy" and ...

the fact that they are all "the same" doesn't mean you are OK -
you need to be sure none of these cmd.exe or root.exe files are
in a place reachable from your webserver as CGI scripts.

I think it at least succeeds in

1.  finding a CMD.EXE to use (because of your status 200 logfile entries)

2.  running tftp  (because you've seen this thing running in the taskmgr
    along with the parent cmd.exe shell

but perhaps you are luck that tftp is somehow impaired by a firewall
or directory permissions and the file transfer it is trying to do
never succeeds.

I don't have this in any of my logs - I've had hundreds of
attempts from IPs ranging all over - the probe always looks like the
same 16 GETs.

But perhaps you are right - maybe you only see this after it
tries to transfer the dll.

What do you know about this 203.173.177.17 address?    Are
all the probes from there?    This looks like a IHUG dialup
server.    Is it one of yours?    It seems wierd to me that
you don't have hits from other places too.
