Hi All,

I received several ssh attacks over the past week, and wonder how, if at all, to deal with them.

Are they just script kiddies? 

One address resolves to 'server.pamperedpawsdogboutique.com', a domain registered with godaddy.  Do I contact godaddy?  This attack did not start until 7pm on a Friday...

I might create a blacklist of IP addresses... for example, to filter /var/log/auth.log into /etc/hosts.deny... (but that might grow too large)
Or if I have confidence that my passwords are secure, do I simply ignore them as a fact of life?

My aim here is to do productive work, not to fart around with nuisances.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,
Max
