[ a shortened version of the msg I sent to greg. -wsr ]
Google found this. It might or might not be what I'm seeing, but it
couldn't hurt to grab the dictionary out of it.

The file references brutessh and brutessh2 with a "wget.home.ro"
address, but the server this page is located on is in communist china.
My bigger ssh attacks did come from there, so this might be one of the
programs that I was seeing.
