Autoban for Personal SSH Server
I have SSH running on my personal home server so if I need to make a change, create an ftp username for somebody, or just troubleshoot it when my wife calls and says the printer isn't working. However I've noticed my log file is getting crammed with failed login attempts. Is there a way to have my server automatically ban a host/IP after a given number of failed logon attempts?
Edit: It's running Ubuntu Server 9.10 with the default ufw firewall.
