It is an attempt to connect to a root shell installed by an exploit in
sendmail/RPC/BIND. It doesn't mean that you've been exploited, only that
somebody is searching to see if that backdoor has been installed.

I've written a good document that describes these sorts of things at:

I logged this:
Mar 5 15:58:23 monitor tcplogd: ingreslock connection attempt from
unknownsleipnir1.cs.ucl.ac.uk
what does the ingreslock mean and what was this person trying to do?
Thanks
