Look in your other logs for an ip address and ad it to your /etc/hosts.deny

I dont know what system you have or what you have running so you will have to find the log files.

But if you do block that ip address, it will just start again from someone else. There is always someone trying to get into my servers and you cant block everyone. You just have to put up with it and make sure you have basic security setup.
