Unsure of log report entry

[docv]

No, Logwatch doesn't tell me where it came from. I am running HTTP, DNS 
and POP3 on that box. I did have an alert message from my router letting 
me know that an attack was unsuccessful from that IP address, inbound 
from WAN, but was concerned when I say that this log message was coming 
from the kernel. I'm obviously not very knowledgeable about TCP/IP 
protocols but this old dog is still learning! ;-)

And to answer Dustin's question, no, that's not my clinic. As in my 
signature lines, my clinic is the Laser Pain Relief Center in downtown 
Lee's Summit (just opened it up 3 weeks ago).
