If I am reading this log correctly you have some pretty obvious account names. It might be a good idea to look over your servers and remove accounts such as root and admin and replace them with dummy accounts. The security gain might be small, but it stops password guessing and makes it somewhat harder for an attacker if he penetrates one of your systems.
