When looking at /var/log/messages there are hundrets of entries:

Code:
Jun 26 08:54:00 kronos sshd[15886]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'


I also saw it here in the forum when people posted their messages to solve other problems?

Anyone knows how to get rid of these entries?

someone is trying to login to ssh as root. root should be disabled by default so there is nothing to worry about.

i get a few dozen a day.

The Freenas Box is not reachable from the Internet. And withing the network (3 Users) I'm very shure I'm the only one ssh-ing to the box (not with root as its deactivated).
What i'm wondering that there are "bursts" of this kind of messages in the log:

Code:

I am having this issue as well.

When I log in as root the following message is generated in /var/log/messages

Code:
Aug  1 09:07:01 freenas sshd[48831]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'


This message is not logged when I log in with a standard user.
