I don't want to keep them out really.  Someone's been trying to harass me.
 I am pretty sure I know who it is.  This person doesn't really know much,
but they are trying to get in by using some stupid scripts.  The epitome
of a push-button-hacker.

I want to gather some evidence against them and submit it to their ISP.

A honeypot is way to complicated for me.  I really don't know enough about
FreeBSD to be able to protect myself or catch them.
