To clarify, that user was valid, he just typed his password in wrong.  I 
already have access rules in pf, etc. (and a lovely little shell script) 
to manage improper ssh access.  I was simply putting that in there to show 
the previous timestamp'd entry before the kernel boot to show it was a 
hard boot.
