Of course I agree with you all, except for the fact that a HW firewall
should be any better than a well setup linux box.
My system has been setup quite well I believe and has only ssh and http
open. By using well thought of passwords I feel that my system has enough
protection to keep anyone off the system who doesnt belong there.
The only thing where I was curious about was that the two attempts used
exactly the same names : guest and test, and therefore I was suspecting (
like Scott mentioned ) a kiddie with some code.
Anyway... I'm glad that I posted it and found not to be the only one
'bothered' from that IP.

Cheers
