Moving ssh's port around solves nothing. Actually, I have to disagree. SOME of the script kiddies check higher ports for SSH *_BUT_* I only see 4% of the brute force attempts to login on ports other than 22. I would say that dropping brute force login attempts by 96% is quite a good reason to move the SSH port from 22 to something else. It is certainly not the only thing you need to do, but it is nonetheless a good thing to do. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
