[EAS] high number of failed ssh logins

[ray at electronicstheory.com]

For those who may be experiencing a high number of failed ssh logins in your
security logs...

Note:

If you have the ability with your EAS appliance -

(and assuming you know your ssh password)

You can always go in under ssh, and type:

service sshd stop

and this will put a halt to any ongoing attacks you are having.

Of course - rebooting the box will restart the ssh service if you find the need
to use it.
