-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 | Every computer on every network that I work on gets | a load of (automatic) attempted ssh logins every day. | The weekly logwatch email is typically approaching | 1MB in size, almost entirely from ssh and pam login | failures all being listed. This huge amount of data is | not at all important compared to knowing what logins | did actually succeed, and other information such as | kernel messages. My advise: Work the problem and not the logs that are indicating the problem. One propably does not need the whole world to use SSH to access these machines.
