It's hosted at hetzner.de isn't it? My hetzner box seems to attract
all sorts of nasty people who hammer on the ssh port trying to get in.
I made the problem go away by:
1. running two sshds, one of them on a non-standard port. Two *seperate*
daemons, not just one daemon listening on two ports;
2. running sshblack to automatically whack-a-mole attackers
