Curious FTP access, possible information gathering?

Every once in a while, I get a connection on my FTP server that connects and disconnects within about a second. Normally, SYSLOG reports the login name if the user logs in (including anonymous). there is no login noted. My impression is that the client/script/virus is just connecting to gather the ftp server version information. I would write a rule to capture it, but if there is no login, then there is no real data to capture (I assume). besides, it would flag all the time due to connections. I also noticed the connection triggered a "Lame server" for the same address at "DNS2.1STSITE.NET" on my DNS server. but then, I think there is a out of date root name server listed on it due to the fact I keep forgetting to update the list. ~Travis --- travis5765.homelinux.net, Primary Administrator TF Custom Electronic, Owner, Founder, Developer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
