why MySQL on cPanel DNS-only?

[SoftDux]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me why MySQL is installed, or even needed, on the cPanel DNS-only edition?

Is there anything in this package that needs it? Can I uninstall it?

I was wondering the same....

I think it may only be used for cPHulk, but I stand to be corrected.

mysql> use cphulkd
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_cphulkd |
+-------------------+
| auths |
| brutes |
| good_logins |
| logins |
| whitelist |
+-------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

It is indeed due to cPHulk Brute Force Protection, which is one of the options in WHM on the cPanel DNS only box.
