Default vB 3.8.5 and robots.txt

Well the never ending story. Done alot of reading in older threads and everyone tells a different story.

I stumble upon robots.txt for the first time today since i'm setting up Google Adsense. So how should a robots.txt file looks like for a standard/default vB 3.8.5 forum?

Three things i need help with

*I've read is that I need to change the paths in the file if my forum is in a directory called 'forums' sitting in the root. Is that correct?
Like this Disallow: /forum/attachments/

*Never include /admincp/ in robots.txt file since you tell everyone where your admincp directories are located. Correct?

*And where can i find my XNL sitemap file? How should the url look like? In vB4 you can choose the dir. in options, but not in 3.8.5

Yeah, you need to include the whole path, so yeah
Code:
/forums/attachments/
as the robots.txt is located always in root directory.

Yeah, and use htpasswd to lock access to it, just in case.

Not sure about it. I don't think there is XML sitemap file in 3.8.X default installation but I might be wrong.
