    All that's telling you is that someone connected to the port and didn't
    really do anything.  I can replicate just by telneting to the port and
    closing the connection.
    
    I wouldn't be worried as long as you're not running an exploitable version
    of OpenSSH (>3.0.1, I think), and you have protocol version 1 disabled.
    Better yet, don't permit root logins, either.
    
    Of course, I'd try to figure out where those IPs are from.
