Hi,

I notice some error messages when someone tried to telent into my
machine. My system is a personal workstation.
The error messages are as follows:

telnetd[982]: ttloop:  peer died: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
wide character
telnetd[1133]: ttloop:  peer died: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
wide character

Does anyone know what this means specially the 'Invalid or incomplete
multibyte or wide character' part?
Since this happened in the wee hours of the night should i be concerned?



Thanks,

Dave C.
