Hack attempt, best way to secure?

I've just been looking through my auth logs and notice hundreds of failed
sshd login attempts over the last week or so. sshd is untweaked so will
be running standard settings for debian etch. What should I be doing to
harden sshd to reduce hack success? I've made a note of all the IP's used
and times of attempts so far but thats all.

thanks
