Someone scanned your portmapper, mostly to find a broken rpc.statd
to break into your box, but luckily you're running tcp_wrapper who
disconnected the intruder.

Of course there's more than one way to get this message, but this is
the most probable explanation.

From 'man portmap':
"Portmap uses hosts_access(5) access control by default."
