Hi!
how abt blocking the attacker from logging in from the _same_ host/ IP ? Surely that won't affect a proper user !
Sure it can: it did for me. Someone attacked my box from the very machine that most legitimate users happen to use for logging in remotely. So when I had the IP address automagically dropped into /etc/hosts.deny, many legitimate users couldn't log in anymore. Cheers, Yuri.
