No they're not:
- they're testing your interface to _their_ system (arguably)
- they're not _doing_ anything once connected
- if you've got open ports, they're public services;
got a big banner on 'em saying "oh, except for the admins
of the network I'm using"?
Now, if they were hacking in on your system...
Seriously folks, get a sense of scale. If they're bugging you, put a
special case REJECT rule at the front of your firewall rules for them
and forget it.

reasons I still don't understand, he never bothered to tell me that they
were useless, unreliable piles of shit. - Grant Roff, _Two Wheels_ Nov96
