I have a Mac Pro that I use for day to day stuff along with running a web page I built with iWeb. I have been using GeekTool to display the applefirewall log and have seen a line repeating that bugs me.

Allow AppleVNCServer connecting from IP ADDRESS:Port uid = 0 proto=6

EDIT
also getting another line

Stealth Mode Connection attempt to TCP INTERNAL IP:Port from IP Address:port

I don't run a VNC server. I have File Sharing, Print Sharing, and Web Sharing turned on with special permissions set for Folding at Home. So I don't know why a VNC request would be getting sent to me. Especially from where these IP's get traced to. Is this something that I should be worrying about? I really don't get the stealth mode connection attempt one either. Unless it is a request just to see if my IP has a web site on it?

Any good books out there I should read to get more acquainted with running a server?
