you can configured your sshd's configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
however in your case you might want to look at denyhosts
http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/

Hi everyone
I am running a fedora server and currently using hosts.allow to
only allow ssh accesses from specific ip addresses. I did this because I was
getting
a lot of idiots from eastern Europe and Russia tring to crack my server.
This has been ok but now is prooving to be too restrictive. Can I get the
server to force certificate based logins only?? If so how do I do it?? Is this
the
best approach anyway??
