http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ Should sort it out. In addition it's always a good idea to disable root login. One one server that was getting hit pretty hard with both dictionary and brute force attacks, I even restricted login to one user (me) with key login. If you ssh in from a static IP, you can always just put an iptable rule in to allow ssh connections only from your IP. Unfortunately I'm on dynamic, so I can't do that.
