I'm going to read up on the iptables option..

I've gone thru more logs and it seems there are many others banging away on my server (only not as bad as this particular one) .. Am i right in assuming that this is just a loosing battle of wack-a-mole and I shouldnt bother trying to block them or report them to their ISP?

FWIW, i reported these hack attempts to the ISP that owns the IP address - their AUP dept responded and said the customer had been warned/notifed. I assume this means that some 15 year old kid is going to get yelled at by his parents tonight..
