This message showed up on my xconsole:
icmp redirect from 61.214.131.66: 61.214.131.66 => 0.0.0.0

It appears six times.  Can someone explain what it means?  Is someone 
trying to tamper with my computer?  I typed "dig -x 61.214.131.66"  and 
received this information:

I am just learning FreeBSD so I will be reading the man pages and other 
info that can be provided.  I just want to make sure that someone hasn't 
succesfully hacked into my computer.  I have disabled ssh and ftp.  Any 
help is most welcome.  Thank you.

David
