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

Note: you can't just edit /etc/sshd_config (or /etc/ssh_config) on
tiger - thanks to the joy of launchd
This Macosxhints article helped me get the ssh configuration straight:
