[plug] portscans

[Trent Lloyd]

I'd say its *probably* nothing to worry about - youll get scans and pings 
etc all over the place - its only usually a worry if u get 100's at a time 
(packeting) or repeated attacks or attempts over a long time

I can get 50 things in an hour and i get get 2 things in 4 hours (usually 
the DALnet proxy scanner checking on connect is about it if i get little)

Im not saying disregard it, but its *probably* nothing to worry about

they probablyu werent even attempts for much but to see if theres a box on 
that ip or your isp pinging you - portscans well often come if your on IRC, 
ICQ, AIM, MSN or something of the likes since they publish your ip publicly.
