Hi,

this probably has to do with this "recently" published MS SQL hole/exploit:
http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-2002-04.html (I think?)
I've seen a significant increase in scans to this port the last few months, 
so much that I decided to add it to my my "no-log" rule for common scanned 
ports.

Benno...
