Ditto there. I just sent a message today to one of my other user-lists 
asking about a possible SSH exploit. Is there some kind of new script 
kiddie script released recently or some kind of h4x0r contest going on? 
I've seen a different scan on all 3 of my boxes at least every other 
hour. It probably started occurring more than a week ago. Here's a snip 
from my logs.
