[Novalug] ssh 1000's of login attempts

I am getting 1000's of ssh login attempts
from  multiple IP addresses  (but batched
by the high-order byte,)

This is an old RH 6.1 system.
(I am sure that is part of the problem, but I cannot update
this system, the box is too old and the risk is too great.)
 No attempt has been successful so far.

My ssh program is old and I cannot
restrict the legal users in the config
file, but I can and have disallowed
root logins.

My question is what can I do about this?

Thanks,  garyknott@gmail.com
