I am new to the land of maintaining and securing my own unix-like
box, and so I have been presented with all the new problems
(interesting learning experiences?) that lie therein.

FYI: my machine = FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #2: Fri Aug  3 19:32:28
GMT 2001 

I just started reading/following online security related websites
on how to secure my machine yesturday (before yesturday my
machine was running at securelevel=-1, with finger/telnet/ftp all
still active in the default manner), and curiously messages
appeared in my daily security check emails today (pasted below).

Please note the change in time stamp.  I would also point out the
fact that I started logging TCP/UDP connection attempts
yesturday, and it looked like several (~7) machines were port
scanning.  Also, my ISP is a rather open cable modem network.
Also, I know little about true security and the art of detecting
breaches.  And I have not done any recent make worlds or
installed any new system software since yesturday that would
cause these changes.  I did remove all services from the inetd,
though...

Also, the header of the daily security log included:
> To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Is this normal?  I ask because I have no 'original' logs to
compare the header against, so I can't tell if this is normal.  I
Checked my crontab,/etc/periodic/* stuff and it _seems_ like root
is the only recipient, but I can't really tell.

Any suggestions?  Has my machine been penetrated? Any advice?

and the pattern easy to see)
