HOUSCOUS,
Good question. I typically use VPN and don't allow outside ssh to key systems. However, it would be a simple enough exercise to author a PAM module that kept count and updated /etc/hosts.deny based on failed attempts. I'll look at it further and see how simple it would be to do.
If you login from a perdictable number of networks, you could just use a deny all rule and then allow specific networks. You'll need to have ssh compiled to support TCP_WRAPPERS.
Cheers,
Keith
