I am getting a-mail with security run output from one of my 9.2-RELEASE
servers whose primary role is mysql server:

sql1.kappastar.com login failures:

However, I do not see anything in auth.log. Also, this should not
happen at all as this host is in DMZ behind the firewall which does not
allow ssh connections to it.

How should I start troubleshooting this?
