I just generally do a whois on the address and send the ISP some of
the logs, a brief explanation , and a can you stop please request
(politely)
Some ISPs are very responsive, others are not, no idea if it actually
works as generally these seem to come from transient addresses i.e.
even without contacting the isp I don't see them again but its worth
a try. Most of the attempts come from Korea and China address space
so far - although one recently from finland.
Also its hard for ISPs to track down specific addresses from a shared
server or DHCP pool as they don't always log it, but its worth a
crack ;-)
However separately I do have an allowed users group so that anyone
not in it cannot get in - I get a lot of attempts for root to login
