The ipt_recent module can do this job without adding a new package:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=104602

The only problem with this: it will also block IPs that legally open 
more than the allowed number of SSH connections per minute - but I 
don't consider this a real problem, who needs more than 5 [1] new SSH 
connections per minute? ;-)
