This has been happening alot.  A number of SLUG members have been
reporting aggressive port scans recently.  I would strongly suggest that
Humbug members keep a closer watch on their log files then normal.  Also
if your system is fully patched I would make it a high priority to ensure
every security patch for my distribution was applied.

P.S. Should this go to announce?
