Subject: [gentoo-security] [OT?] automatically firewalling off IPs

Hey all,

I'm looking for an app/script which can monitor for failed ssh logins, 
and block using IPTables for $time after $number of failed logins (an 
exclusion list would be handy as well) so that I can put a quick stop to 
these niggly brute-force ssh "attacks" I seem to be getting more and 
more often.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Jeremy B
