If, by brute force, you mean the "Admin/root/guest" dumb attempts, then 
yes, I have about one attempt daily.  This has been going on for at 
least the last month or so IIRC.  As long as you're patched and not 
using incredibly poor passwords, you'll be fine.  Search the NANOG 
archives if you need more detail.
