Automated SSH scans that have been happening for a while. If you aren't getting them then your SSH server isn't working :-P . There are a few ways to stop them cluttering up your logs, simplest is to put SSH on a port other than 22, as these are not often targeted scans - they are blanket scans. Another effective technique is to drop any IP's that appear to be brute forcing you , eg... http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/187 Generally this is nothing to worry about if you have decent passwords on your user accounts, but the log clutter can be a nuisance. -- With Regards..
