[osol-discuss] Looking to limit SSH brute force connections

I have recently setup OpenSolaris to use as a file server (I like ZFS) and I 
connect to this server remotely using SSH.  In the past I used iptable rules on 
Linux to limit connection attempts to SSH within 60 seconds to 4 attempts.  
This eliminated the Brute Force attempts at guessing userids and password, or 
at least drastically limited them.  

I have been looking at ipfilter which is available for OpenSolaris, is this the 
right tool to limit these login attempts in the same manner as I did with 
iptables or is there a better option on OpenSolaris?  While I have found some 
information on writing ipfilter rules I have not found any examples for 
limiting SSH login attempts.  At least nothing solid that I am certain I can do 
on OpenSolaris.  Thanks in advance.
