A *lot* of stuff is happening on tcp:22 ssh these days:
See: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-35.html
"There are multiple vulnerabilities in several implementations of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. While these problems have been previously disclosed, we believe many system and network administrators may have overlooked one or more of these vulnerabilities. We are issuing this document primarily to encourage system and network administrators to check their systems, prior to the holiday break, for exposure to each of these vulnerabilities. The CERT/CC is still seeing active scanning and exploitation of vulnerabilities related to SSH."
