P.S. Also, if you change the SSH port from 22 to 459 (but better pick
one outside the reserved range I think) on the target machine so that
something like

    ssh -p 459 ...

is needed to connect, then all the nodes trying to penetrate are
stymied.

From rom "man ssh", /etc/ssh/sshrc might be useful for part of what you want
and "man sshd" might have something in the "command=" and
"from="pattern-list" sections that is useful.
