hi,
I have 2 questions. One, is there anything you can do to stop these attempts, other than not running ssh?
- run sshd onto another port - use OTP devices and method or token based authentication or at least an rsa key to authenticate yourself
And two, do those ssh attempts every 3 or 4 seconds slow down a box, or put any strain on it?
depends on but generally it doesn't do it.
bye, Ago
