What is the actual problem behind this???...
Is this hackers activity???
Do such things make the server down... or affect system performance...???
Is any protection like firewall needed...???
If so how to avoid such unwanted logins???
Please help me in this issue
Nothing much - random ssh probes or other portscans are a fact of life
on the internet.. and looks like they havent been able to do a breakin
authentication failed each time as you can see from your logs.
so dont worry about it.
if you want, install lids / snort etc.
