I need to install an ssh server and I need some information about security options. I know that has been some kind off "attacks" on port 22 on the internet so I want to know a little more about those options under /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
The options are pretty well documented in man 5 sshd_config Most people seem to strongly recommend setting Protocol 2 instead of Protocol 1,2 and PermitRootLogin no instead of PermitRootLogin yes You will also see many people recommending you change the default port from 22 to some high port number, but I'm not so sure that makes much of a difference.
