I was looking at this file..../var/log/messages and got the information below. Does that mean this IP logged on to my server or attempted to? I'm wondering if I've been broken into? Thanks for any light on the subject.

I see that stuff all the time, I don't think it's a problem unless you're not expecting someone to be connecting to FTP? Sometimes it can be that whoever that is just left their FTP Client open and it reconnects every once in a while.

Thanks for the reply, XGhozt. I thought it was probably nothing but wasn't for sure and wanted to check.

Yep, he's right. Nothing to fret about.
