It should be in your /var/log directory. It may not be called auth.log but you should have something like it. SSHBlackList is not distro specific so it should work with SUSE. You will just have to do a little setup in the program for your distro.

If you have a publically available SSH server, check your auth.log... I
find most such machines have (literally) a thousand or so failed login
attempts a day from bots searching for weak machines. fail2ban is a
great debian package that uses an iptables blacklist to block any IP
with 4 or more failed attempts in some short time period from logging in
for the next 600 seconds.

apt-get install fail2ban

How would I do this on a SuSE box? Locate and whereis turn up no sign of auth.log. What else might it be called or what dir is it sitting in on your box?
