Well, if you want to support "anyone" ACL then you should care.
Otherwise not really, other than being annoyed at those errors in logs.
You could solve it by creating such a path that maps to an SQL table.
I've been too lazy to add docs how to do it.. Probably something like:

map {
pattern = shared/shared-boxes/anyone/$from
table = anyone_shares
value_field = dummy

fields {
from_user = $from
}
}

I guess another possibility would be to make it possible to ignore some
patterns to just hide this error and not waste time doing a SELECT for
something that never exists.

Hi Timo,

no plans to support it ever, to much spam problems ( perhaps usefull for
internal servers etc )

i ll ignore it, having so much other stuff to test and implemented yet

hm, your choice, a ignore pattern might stop same question in the
future, or if time a note in the wiki may enough , there is allready a
part with "anyone" in it as far i remember
