Q: Looking for info on how to configure os-x firewall to block specific IPs from trying to log in as root.

Running websites on a mac mini (Mountain Lion) with a static IP on the public internet. There are root login attempts, continuously, from a specific IP address. Is there a way to block the IP address using the OS X Firewall without affecting ssh services from others?

null, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Mac Min on Public Network
