That's a good idea, but I want to be able to shell in from public computers. Maybe instead of blocking the IP address, I should block the username from logging in after a certain number of tries.
This idea is even worse, as it leads to an easy DoS: If I know your box' IP, I simply connect a couple of times with your login - and afterwards, you're no longer able to connect.
