exactly. I would prefer a solution where an IP is automatically blocked
for a limited amount of time after, say, 3 failed login attempts.
I don't know how to do this, but maybe somebody already has a script for
something like that?

This is exactly what fail2ban do. It's a very nice script written in python that can block an IP for an amount of time after several login attempts. It can monitor ssh and apache. Look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fail2ban or directly emerge it as it is allready in Portage. I have it running for a couple of months and I must say that I'm very satisfied.
