Steven,

Change the port sshd runs on in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.  Once I changed
the port, I stopped seeing all those log in attempts.

Hello Eric,

that meens also to change the port at the ssh-client with "ssh -p ??",
isn't it?

Steven,

You are correct. For example, if you were to use 8000 as your new port, you would use a command similar to this to connect:

# ssh -p 8000 -l username 10.0.0.1
