Blacklisting repeated login tries

[John M Collins]

Please CC jmc AT xisl.com on any reply as I'm not subscribed.
We are getting several thousand login tries daily all from the same IP each
try.

It would be a great help to automatically refuse connections from a given IP
after a certain number of failed login attempts.

I was thinking of doing that myself but if anyone else is about to do it or
has done it please let me know.

Thanks.
