Hi,

Simpler solution, I simply run sshd on a non-standard port and that seems to 
eliminate attacks.  Most just seem to be automated botnets broken into via CGA 
vuneralities trying port 22 across IP ranges til they get a reply.


So although its security by obscurity  it saves a hell of a lot of noise and 
copious, repetitive log reading.  Now when fail2ban triggers I know its likely 
to be a "serious" human driven attempt and I need to pay attention and make the 
ban permanent.   I normally iptables ban IP ranges as well not just that 
particular IP.


regards

Steven
