Come to think of it I think I got paged while I was at work so I logged 
in as fast as I could and killed his login session, then he logged back 
in. I could not keep him out and I was remote so I had to shut it down 
until I was able to change passwords, login access and the port. I used 
to get attacks all the time but as soon as you change from port 22 they 
go away.
