You really should look into a neat program called "fail2ban". I have it running on a Debian-server and it's great.
You can configure how many retries someone has after a password-failure and how long they are banned (two hours in my case). It continually scans your /var/log/auth.log and acts. Check out Main Page - Fail2ban for more info.
