Subject: Significance of log entries

Hi,

Recently logged the following:

Oct 21 21:30:46 nova in.telnetd[1143]: [ID 927837 local2.info] connect
from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Oct 21 21:30:46 nova telnetd[1143]: [ID 485252 daemon.info] ttloop:
peer died: Invalid argument

Have recorded similar activity before from different sources.

Is this a scan/probe, attack, harmless, what????

Answer will determine if IP should be stuffed in my *.deny files.

Thanks,

Andy
