How can I stop attacks on my ssh demon?   I see thousands of attempts every
day.  I have, I believe good password policy but since I have clients,  not
100% sure.  Is there some config that  I can set?  One ip address comes in
and tries for a day or so.  Can it see that it is the same ip and just
deny?  Any tools that can help?


Kyle
