(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Well, I use 'denyhosts' which works the same way as 'fail2ban' and I have it set to allow 5 tries (at 2 tries max, I had too many of my legitimate clients who flubbed their logins get banned and had to contact me). I still get thousands of login attempts per day because there are so many different sources of the probes. Block one and two more spring up to twist the doorknobs. Apparently we're a prime target.

For failed SSH login attempts, you might look at fail2ban , configure that one with 2 auth faillures and repeat offenders and you'll be golden and rid of those thousands of login attempts :)
