Unexpected FTP Activity

Since I put my new Centos box on the net, it frequently
tr1es to make ftp contact with IP address 64.90.181.77 .

Why is this, and does anyone recognize this IP address?
Is it spyware?

Mike.

This is a CentOS repository mirror:
http://mirror.nyi.net/centos/

Your box is connecting to that site to get security updates. If it's
doing that without you knowing, it's probably because yum is
configured to do that automatically in cron.
