Hello all,

I just set up a new LM8.1 machine to act as an internet connection 
masqerader for a small lan along with a web server. This was on Saturday 
morning.

When I went by to check on it on Monday morning i noticed several 
unusual entries in /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/access_log.

The message file entries are like the following and there were a ton of 
them, i just included a few as samples:

PROTO=TCP SPT=4289 DPT=111 WINDOW=32120 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0


In /var/log/httpd/access_log I found several entries like the following, 
again just a sample have been included:

Does anyone have any idea what these entries represent?

I know the entries from access_log are GET requests but is someone 
attempting to break into the system via the web server with them?

Thanks,
