Nope, that is normal logging letting your know things worked.  Just a
reminder though putting an IP or domain in hosts.deny will only block them
from services that run from inetd.  There is nothing you can do to stop
that logging, well there is but you don't want to do that.  These messages
can help you in many ways, like putting them in a file and mailing it off
to their upstream. :)
