So, install denyhosts, and give your system a break once in a while.  I
get those attacks too.  The difference, is that after a short period of
time, my system says "enough" and shuts them off.  And they don't quit
either, from time to time I see a connection denied on an initial
attempt (which means they are already in my denied hosts file!).
