So I setup ssh on a server so I could do some work from home and I think the second I opened it every sorry monkey from around the world has been trying every account name imaginable to get into the system.

What's a good way to deal with this?


The Wiki has an article here on just this:

I've been experimenting with the iptables filtering with the recent module, but I have not yet had success. I do have my default policy to reject with icmp and I've read the note that the default should be DROP. Is this the problem?
