Today I got the warning below from BOA in my email, twice. One of those times it happened exactly as I was doing something on the system - logging in via shell and SFTP with Filezilla (not sure about the other warning).

2013-06-27 22:27:01,325 (o1.ftp): *** forbidden path over SSH: sh -c python -c 'import os,sys,stat; print os.stat(sys.argv[1])[stat.ST_MTIME]' /etc/favicon.png

I suspect this has something to do with my own logins, but I've never seen this before and I don't know what would cause this. Any ideas?

I've narrowed it down to HotSSH, which I use for its tabbed ssh windows. Don't know why it's doing this, I'll file a question/bug report there.
