telnet break-in

[Serge Delorme <sdelorme@berthier.autray.net>]

I only have a simple dial-out PPP connection from my ISP.
I'm still on a Bo system with shadow password enable.
Two days ago I see this message from my xconsole:

Aug 20 10:19:56 ordino in.telnetd[349]: connect from ppp-014.m4-1.mtl.ican.net
Aug 20 10:20:01 ordino telnetd[349]: ttloop:  peer died: Success

I understand the first line; somebody requested a telnet session from my
system. The second one I'm not sure...who cut the connection, the other side
or my system?

To this date I did not really care about security, I'm the only user and I'm on
line for short periods, but now I'm getting a little panicked...is Bo
security ok or should/can I do more? Do I have to deny requests for telnet and ftp
sessions or is on by default?

Paranoid.
