Mr> since you are a server on the internet, all your services have brute force

Mr> adding something to your logon script will just block people who try to

Mr> get peerblock and just block china.

I've never really had a problem with ftp, rlogin, etc. All the attempts seem to
be localized to SSH connections, trying either admin or root. Recently I
noticed a single IP will attempt simultanious connections, taking all my nodes
down.
I've tried peerblock with very little success. Seems it doesn't cut down on
attempts at all.
