SSH attacks

Hi,

I am running a Mac OS X Tiger Server and I am increasingly observing attacks trying to log in via SSH and guessing user ids and passwords. The server is only accessible via SSH from the Internet and only two user ids whose passwords are well chosen can log in via SSH. Nevertheless, I would like to limit those attacks since they also consume quite some resources, esp. bandwidth. What are you practicing or suggesting? I am using the firewall which is included with Mac OS X.

Best regards

--Bruno



P.S.: Is there any literature/links on how to improve the security of a Mac OS X Server?
