Bad confusion about what to do with auth.

I get a lot of these in my syslog

Feb 21 22:14:33 saturn kernel: [FIAIF_SCAN]:IN= OUT=eth0
        SRC=207.172.210.41
        DST=67.98.202.21 LEN=40 TOS=0x00
        PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=0 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=113
        DPT=617

I am the 207 addr.

I have the following in my zone.ext:

OUTPUT[1]="ACCEPT tcp 
auth,smtp,domain,nicname,finger,http,pgpkeyserver,cvspserver 
0.0.0.0/0=>0.0.0.0/0"

and I also have this:

REPLY_AUTH="EXT tcp-reset tcp auth 0.0.0.0/0=>0.0.0.0/0"

The goal is to send a tcp-reset if someone send me an ident request.

So I have two questions.

First, what does that message in syslog mean?
Second. is this bad?

Sorry I don't understand, but I hope to learn this better.

TIA
