hello, i am wondering what does authentication database means. there is somebody bruteforcing me, and these are the results.
Service: smtp Local IP Address: *.*.*.* Remote IP Address: 101.71.217.134 Authentication Database: system Username: - Number of authentication failures: 3 Maximum number allowed: 3 Service: smtp Local IP Address: *.*.*.* Remote IP Address: 80.82.65.206 Authentication Database: mail Username: - Number of authentication failures: 3 Maximum number allowed: 3
both are smtp, but one is mail, and the other is system.

  Hello :) The "Authentication Database" entry names the service on your server to which the user attempted to log in. Here's the example from our mail " A POP3 or IMAP email client, Webmail.

  ftp " Normal FTP accounts. Notes: [LIST]

  The Password Authentication Module (PAM) denotes the lack of @domain in a username to determine whether a user is a cPanel user.

  Any attempt to log in with a username without @domain displays in cPHulk (or the cphulkd daemon) as system, regardless of which service the user attempted to log in to.
  Thank you.
