I recieved similar messages on my system a while ago... On all terminals... Rather irritating. Anyway, the word on the street is that somebody tried to use a Linux-specific exploit. It seems to happen on my system all the time, but it has never been broken into so I am not terribly worried. Probably some s'kiddie's subnet exploiter that sees any Unix and assumes Linux. Or maybe not. >For the past few weeks I've been seeing some odd kernel log messages.
