everybody as he sees fit. But IF I'd report each and any portscan to the
admin of the originating network(s) I'd do nothing else the whole day. Today
has been a quite day. I've been portscanned five times so far in the last 19
hours, all from different networks. And there were seven or eight attempts to
access port 111. All of them were firewalled by Portsentry with IPChains.
And that does NOT include the stange UDP activity I've noticed in the last
couple of days.
