And does your ssh machines get hammered? I see that daily on some of my
clients. The longest attack yet I have seen in the log files was 37
hours straight. All use key auth also though. These do not have such
as fail2ban or iptables limiting. I have always seen those types of
schemes to be hindering security. Thus adding in more problems. I will
admit the machine that was attacked for 37 hours was a CentOS 5.2 OS.
So someone at OSCent is doing something right or I was.
