Greetings and happy New Year! I run a script that updates my two firewalls when a host tries to log in to many times.
It should be possible to use a similar script to check for the host name and user name and un-deny them after the fact. The user name should be grep-able from /var/log/some-file-depending-on-your-flavor-of-linux. You would want to put some security on it so you don't create a security hole, however. Like limit the number of attempts to 10 in an hour or send an email to yourself when it happens. My $0.02.

Alternatively, you can have them set up ssh keys so they wouldn't need to provide a password when connecting.
