directory searchers

Author: M.Ulm (1 Oct 10 7:35am)

I have ip addresses come in and seem to be searching for a way to hack into my site. They try about 50 directory names like the ones listed below.

/mysql-admin
/sqlweb
/phpmanager
/phpMyAdmin-2.8.1-rc1
/p

Are they bad and if they are would it be useful to set up a fake directory using one of these names with a honeypot in it named index.php, but use the robots.txt file to disallow it?
