Don't rely on this, but put it on a non-standard port. If you have sshd 
on the default
port 22 you will get a long list of login attempts on it. This 
suggestion is not security,
it simply cuts down hugely on the list of exceptions you need to wade 
through. You
ought to probably use something like fail2ban to cut off repeated failed 
logins.
