   Hi Jay,   
      
    JH> I use iptables to block certain county IP blocks from connecting in the   
    JH> first place.  Doesn't stop all of them, but it is a lot quieter when you   
    JH> can filter out the riftraft in the first place.   
      
   As a quick measure, I just disabled the ssh server part.  Sure, it won't   
   prevent them from using the telnet port ;/   
      
   That said, I think using your iptables way might be the best way.  That way I   
   can ssh and/or telnet into my system and not worry about 'them'.   
      
   Thanks!
