SSH Problem?? - HELP

[Dickie Bradford]

Hi I am not sure if I have found a bug or exploit or what I have found, but
here is an entry I found in my secure logs multiple times

Sep  9 17:00:44 www webmin[8685]: Non-existent login as a a 1 new 1234567890
root from fordf350.never-enuff.net

and I have also found a user root at notty logged in,  I have disabled sshd for
now until i find out whats going on, could anyone please tell me if this is
a bug or exploit and if so, how to avoid it.

My System is Mandrake 10.1
2.6.8.1-12mdk-i586-up-1GB
OpenSSH_4.3p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004

Anything else that i can provide to help?

Thnx

Dickie Bradford
