In my auth log I see alot of bruit force attempts to login via ssh.  Is 
there a way I can have the box automatically kill any tcp/ip 
connectivity to hosts that try and fail a given number of times?  Is 
there a port or something that I can install to give this kind of 
protection.  I'm still kind of a FreeBSD newbie.

Thanks,
Chris Maness
