Yes be concerned.

If you don't use NFS and mount to other systems then block the RPC calls from other systems coming in.

Looks like someone has tried to find out more information on systems that maybe connected to yours, but has failed.

LR,

Do you use ipchains? If so, make a rule to DENY port 111 (rpc):


1 2 168 DENY udp ----l- 0xFF 0x00 eth0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * ->
111
2 92 5484 DENY tcp ----l- 0xFF 0x00 eth0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 * ->
111
