Script Kiddie tarpit wanted

Since I like to have remote Internet access to my VMS system,
I have my firewall forward SSH packets to it.

However, every day or so, I am alerted by the beeping of
OPCOM messages that someone is making repeated login attempts.
I am not worried about them getting in, but I find their
feeble attempts annoying.

I am thinking of creating captive accounts that these script
kiddies would be likely to try (root/<null>, guest/guest,
god/god, etc.). The captive procedure should appear to be
some variant of Unix, appear to sort-of work, while wasting
as much of their time as possible. Meanwhile it should
log everything to a file for my later amusement. (Yes, I'm
that sick!)

I seem to recall that someone created such a DCL procedure
years ago, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone point
me to something that would give me a start on this project?

Along the same line, is there any way I can find out what
username/password combinations these kiddies are trying?
Accounting doesn't seem to provide anything.

Thanks,
Alan
