I have also seen alot of this activity lately.  It comes from all over
and they try to hit all of my servers.

connect from 193.40.245.45 to dump(): request from unauthorized host

You're not the only one.  I got it on two machines here at work:
Jun 23 23:45:20 riff portmap[53850]: connect from 193.40.245.45 to
dump(): request from unauthorized host
Jun 23 23:51:06 torg portmap[54972]: connect from 193.40.245.45 to
dump(): request from unauthorized host

These machines are on different subnets, too...

The IP address is for an Estonian university.  They never responded to
my e-mails to them about this.
