My ssh access is password protected. It is not so much that someone gets in (although I keep an eye open), but rather all the attempts eat resources. Roger, that's almost certainly the first time I've heard anyone say that - I couldn't care less about the resources wasted by ssh brute force attacks (as long as they're not actually denial-of-service), but I care a lot about anyone getting in.
Ditto, dealing with the spray of spurious connection attempts is something current Operating Systems are very good at. I doubt the resources consumed have a measurable performance impact. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
