Strange var/log/messages

1st time I ever have seen this in the logs, the site seems legit, like I invoked something for the first time.
Anyone know if it is a concern?



kernel: ipt_recent v0.3.1: Stephen Frost <sfrost@snowman.net>. http://snowman.net/projects/ipt_recent/

I did add a rule to the iptables and I am guessing this was the source


$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set --name SSH
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 8 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP

Nothing to be worried about: iptables automatically loaded the ipt_recent module needed by those rules. The message is just a credit to the developer that wrote the module.

Thanks
I did do searching and is what I was assuming was I invoked a module and it was giving credits to the author, seeing that the site was a good one :)
