Nah, don't. Have them have their fun. They don't know root won't get in
and waste their own resources. Although today it won't matter either. But
not letting them know they cannot login as root they keep trying instead
of wandering off and try other servers where they might be successful.

I don't think so. Unless being DDoSed. But then you have to take a
