I've noticed a number of SSH login attempts for the username "admin" on my FreeBSD systems. None of them have a username of "admin". So I was wondering if there was a way (even via a port) to tell the system, "If an IP tries to login as 'admin', block that IP." I'm already using SSHGuard to block certain obvious attempts to break in. I'm fine with altering its configs or adding/switching to a new port.
