Being port-scanned might cause this. In /var/log/secure there ought to be
a telnetd entry to correspond to this. (i.e. same date and PID.) It
should have the IP address the connection was initiated from.

This is worrisome. Maybe your new friend got in. Were you up to date on
the latest security fixes? I would recommend a fresh install, personally.
Also, do "ps aux" and look for any weird processes.
