Re: SSH scanning.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked the logs on my firewall. Lots of "Illegal user test from" entries. More than usual. I normally get one or two a week. I have been getting 3 or 4 a day. Doing a whois on the IP's now.

Most of the IP's that have been scanning me are from Quebec and from the UK. In my case the usernames being tried are admin and user. With some root thrown in for good measure.

Some snippits from my logs.
