I have a problem on one of my servers. A specific host has been attacking my server via ssh for the past 5 hours.
Now it is starting to cost me in bandwidth usage.
How can I set up SuSEFirewall2 to just drop all packets from that specific host?

Why not try the fix i used to stop these idiots causing problems I simply reassinged ssh to another port number that is far enough out of the way to make it safe since then i have had no more attacks i wont publis what port i am using but it is a five digit number , All of my machines now use that port by default ..
