I used to get such automated attempts every now and then, UNTIL i changed my ssh listening port number to something other than the default (22).
To change the default sshd port, edit this file on some (all?) distros: /etc/ssh/sshd_config.  That's where it is on SUSE anyway.
Add a line, "Port 22"  where you can replace 22 with any number.

Also, some may not know where to find such attempts.  Mine shows up in /var/log/messages.

I'm curious, what is the exact command you used (well, the options and such) with `nmap`?
