There was a recent article @ RootPrompt about DenyHosts, a Python script to watch for repeated login attempts (usually by scripts) and to block that host. <a href="http://rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=8735" title="rootprompt.org">Article @ RootPrompt</a rootprompt.org> You can get the script from <a href="http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net</a sourceforge.net>.
Love it, dunno why I wasn't using something like this before; I noticed about 500 daily login attempts to my server through SSH and this fit the bill.
