Incoming telnet attempts during leafnode/fetch nntp connections

[Jack Kern <jkern@klis.com>]

During leafnode's "fetch" nntp connections there have been attempts
(unsuccessful) to telnet into my machine.  My machine dials in to an
isp using "pppd" (dynamic address allocation) and "ip-up":  "runq",
"getpop3", "fetch" and disconnects.  Sometimes "fetch" stays connected
for as much as 1 hour and more.

Newserver is 142.77.1.190, "nntp.uunet.ca"; I am connecting using
"news.klis.com".  "/etc/hosts.deny" is "ALL: PARANOID"; "/etc/hosts.allow"
is null.

The latest attempt was logged as from "1Cust43.tnt2.tco2.da.uu.net".  A
part of another machine name was "alvirus".

I don't know if I should pay any attention to this.
