Someone is running a bot trying to see if you are using weak 
user/password.  There are 4 ways to stop this (that I know of)

- disable password logins and just use ssh keys for login
- run ssh on some different port
- use port knocking for ssh 
(http://blog.andrew.net.au/2005/02/16#ipt_recent_and_ssh_attacks)
- use DenyHosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/) if you cannot do the 
others
