HI All,

With my new firewall in place, it has opened my eyes to how much traffic gets blocked in a single day and also what are the most active rules. I get *a lot* of requests for port 22.

How does one switch ssh ports? What is a good port to use? What ramifications does it have when I need to ssh in? Is it as simple as ssh user@hots:port?

man sshd_config man ssh

if there's something you don't understand after reading the man pages and trying things out for yourself, the list will be more useful to you.
