First: I'm not sure if the group got to it and I'm posting to a very stale thread here but I've found that the best way to defeat these password scanning ssh bots is to disallow passwords allowing public/private key authentication in their stead. Unfortunately this isn't always possible. Bill's method is a very close second.

Second: I love the simplicity of the stateless firewall rules in Bill's pf.conf. I may have to look at implementing that here.
