 	As a sysadmin, and tailing logs all day, I see tens of thousands 
of ssh attacks from China (220/8 and 221/8?) and possibly other places 
every day on every host. Is this the chinese government doing this or 
isolated crews? I suspect the latter, but it is still unnerving.

 	Too bad it is against the law to attack back!
