I'm a bit confused with Susefirewall. I have had a number of robot attacks against sshd so I set the following rule in SuSefirewall to limit the number of allowable sshd logins per 60 second period:
look at the packages: fail2ban denyhosts
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SUSE_Linux_10. 1 and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/utilities/SUSE_Linux_10.
I use fail2ban and am happy with it, but have you also considered making your rule through iptables? Not sure if SuSEfirewall acts as a front end for iptables, but it can't help to give it a try.
