I'm very happy with my configuration using firestarter. I set things up to only allow connections from campus machines and my home using very simple rules on the policy tab. I allow connections from host:
152.2.0.0/16
152.19.0.0/16
152.23.0.0/16
66.57.77.0/24

This eliminated attacks on my Ubuntu machine. If I ever need to connect from elsewhere, I'll connect to one of the open departmental machines first.

I can't praise it enough: denyhosts
