I am running OpenSSH on my home gentoo server.  I was examining the
log files for OpenSSH and I noticed multiple login attempts from the
same IP address but with different user names.  Is there a simple way
that I can block an IP address from attempting to log in after
something like 3 failed login attempts?

My Gentoo box is connected to a linksys router connected to my cable
modem, the linksys is doing port forwarding to my gentoo box.  Also, I
would like to avoid limiting which IP addresses can log into my SSH
server

Thanks for any ideas,
James
