On the advice of many, I installed denyhosts here and it works like a charm. However, I still see dozens to hundreds of attempts from the same IP address to ssh in and even more trying brute force attacks to find a valid username. Between the NetGear firewall appliance and denyhosts they've all been kept out. Rich -- Richard B.
