   I have permalinks showing as

   http://www.server.com/index.php/permalink/structure

   if test for a 404 by adding randmon garbage to the url
   http://www.server.com/index.php/permalink/structurekjshdkabcnaisua
   or
   http://www.server.com/index.php/permalink/structure/lksjhf

   then wordpress displays page.php - and posts everything in the db!!

   what do i need to change to force the 404 instead?
   i have a 404.php file and it is called when someone enters
   http://www.server.com/badLink
   but any bad permalink hits page.php

   please help

   thanks

   I found the answer!!! I am using a static page as my front page so the problem was i didn't have anything set for the posts page. In the dashboard - settings - reading, if a static page is the front page make sure that a posts page is also selected. I just made a blank page and made that the posts page. Problem solved
