Subject:   umountall requests - what does this all mean?

I keep getting log messages similar to these:

Aug  7 19:04:49 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port
Aug  7 19:04:53 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port
Aug  7 19:47:59 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port
Aug  7 19:48:03 60-Hz mountd[150]: umountall request from 207.71.226.193 from unprivileged port

207.71.226.193 is the IP addressed assigned to me by my ADSL provider, so
I can only assume that these packets are coming in through the ADSL modem.

What do these messages mean, and should I be worried about them?  And how
do I block them?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
