    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone else had noticed a large increase in scans and
    crack attempts against SSH. I found a reference to
    http://www.k-otik.com/exploits/08202004.brutessh2.c.php which would
    explain the pattern of usernames I had seen originally (i.e. test, guest and
    root).

    I am more curious to know if anyone else is seeing the same thing or if I
    am being singled out for persicution :-)
