sorry, what comes from typing email when your still asleep. 
most seem to be hitting my sshd, tho the username/password 
combo leads me to believe that the person is using a database 
to try to overload the server.

killed some pids that where owned by sshd and they kept 
cropping up faster than i could kill them.
