I'm getting a lot of unauthorized ssh login attempts. I have a pretty basic
FreeBSD 6.2 setup. I have compiled my own kernel. Here's what I get from my
daily security run output:

myserver.domain.com login failures:
Apr 25 20:00:19 myserver sshd[57810]: Invalid user staff from 65.171.74.26
[snip]
Apr 25 20:01:13 myserver sshd[57860]: Invalid user david from 65.171.74.26

How can I stop these attempts or block them - or even recognize them? I do
not have IPF installed.

In my home server, I put SSH on a higher port and use public key to
authenticate.
This should get you rid of those messages...


Thanks for your help.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
Andreas
