Hi guys,

I'm getting lots of these entries in our servers log files.

Jan 27 07:45:00 www proftpd[31823]: www.mydomain.com (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session opened.
Jan 27 07:45:00 www proftpd[31823]: www.mydomain.com (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - no such user 'anonymous'
Jan 27 07:45:00 www proftpd[31823]: www.mydomain.com (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - no such user 'anonymous'
Jan 27 07:45:00 www proftpd[31823]: www.mydomain.com (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed.

What I don't get is why all those requests come from 127.0.0.1.

When it's from a certain IP I understand that's a hacker trying to exploit some backdoor as "anonymous".

Comments?

Completely normal, it's your active monitor in the control panel of the RaQ checking itself.. 127.0.0.1 is your internal ip address..

Not to worry
