Is someone trying to crack into to my system? I would prefer to think not, but I have a sinking feeling this is not the case (would prefer to be paranoid rather than a zombie). from log file: 2550:Aug 17:53:22 Crusher-1 lpd[955]: connection from root@211.196.186.152 2551:Aug 17:53:24 Crusher-1 in.telnetd[6650]: connect from root@211.196.186.152 (211.196.186.152) 2552:Aug 17:53:24 Crusher-1 in.telnetd[6650]: cannot execute /usr/bin/in.telnetd: no such file or directory 2551:Aug 17:59:00 Crusher-1 -- MARK -- 2551:Aug 17:59:00 Crusher-1 -- MARK -- Trace route produces end source as follows, unsure as to domain/location of origin: 211.196.186.152 domain@ns.kornet.net 413 ms 424 ms 403 ms 2554:Aug 17 16:59:12 Crusher-1 lpd[955]: connection from root@202.106.134.28 2555:Aug 17 16:59:13 Crusher-1 in.telnetd[6550]: connect from root@202.103.134.28 (202.103.134.28) 2555:Aug 17 16:59:13 Crusher-1 in.telnetd[6550]: error: cannot execute /usr/bin/in.telnetd: no such file or directory Trace route produces end sources as being in China 202.106.134.28 root@ns.bta.net.cn 380 ms 391 ms 411 ms So, since I have no telnet to exploit I am assuming that this attempt was unsuccessful? I am a novice but according to my understanding (and I could be completely in error) someone is trying to gain access to my system via telnet? Any comments or information would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Curtis
