I second the motion for denyhosts.  I run it on my home workstation and 
see an average of three hosts running dictionary attacks on my machine 
blocked per day.  Maybe it's not necessary since my passwords are 
strong, but it makes me feel better that they're all blocked after three 
failed attempts.

Thanks for setting this up, Michael. :)
