[lug] Hacking through dump?

[Chip Atkinson]

Greetings,

I have been looking through my logs and saw a couple attempts to connect
to dump() in them:

Jul 15 14:12:01 localhost portmap[24541]: connect from 209.113.108.66 to
dump(): request from unauthorized host
Jul 15 14:42:37 localhost portmap[25179]: connect from 202.47.250.70 to
dump(): request from unauthorized host

Oddly enough, dump doesn't occur in syslog.conf or inetd.conf.   Does
anyone know if this is a hacking attempt?  It appears that the 209 address
has a static IP, whie the 202 address has a dynamic IP, or at least
nslookup indicates that.

Thanks in advance,
Chip
