[Gllug] limiting ssh zombie login attempts

[Ben Fitzgerald]

Hi,

We have an internet facing server that has been receiving an
increasing number of attempts to guess username/passwords.

This is, at the moment, just annoying. I'd like to see that it
gets no worse by installing something like portsentry to
dynamically manage /etc/hosts.deny.

Is this the best package for linux, or have others come to the
fore that are worth trying?

Thanks,
