Anyway, yes, there have been probe and attack attempts against the RPC
statd process on several of my systems (I'm presuming a scan-style
attack).

My question may not have been as clear as I wanted it to be.  :)
Have anyone else noticed a wrong timestamp in /var/log/messages on a Red
Hat 7.0 when hit by an statd.x?
