The timing looks about right on the portsentry entries.

Did you install portsentry via rpm? Did the uninstall stop the portsentry 
daemon? My best guess is that portsentry is responsible, and is still 
running.

How about the output of ps ax|grep sentry

Failing that, perhaps the log entries from before the start of those you 
included:
Feb 23 16:23:53 localhost last message repeated 326713 times
Feb 23 16:24:07 localhost last message repeated 70915 times
Feb 23 16:24:07 localhost samba(pam_unix)[1666]: session opened for user

Perhaps even going back to the messages logged when portsentry starts up?
