Red Hat / Fedora :: IPTables In Part Of SSH (Port 22)

I have blocked all connection with iptables and allowed only the loopback:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

Next I want to allow only ssh connections, and also I want to record the IP address of each attempt to access port 22 using the recent module. Then I want to to see if that IP address has attempted to connect 2 or more times within the last 60 seconds, and if not then the packet is accepted:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --set --name ssh --rsource
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent ! --rcheck --seconds 60 --hitcount 2 --name ssh --rsource -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -j DROP
