At least ssh rate-limiting should be in the default firewall install.
Pam_abl would be even better (for other network services)

Blacklisting opens the potential for denial-of-service attacks. I'm not
too familiar with the pam_abl implementation,

You have per-source-host and per-target-user tuneables

Potential problems with user=root and/or IP spoofing?


but we should at least be
very cautious if we choose to include and enable such features by default.

Sure. But sitting on the problem won't solve it.


Agreed!
