To turn off password checking, which of the following do I need to modify in sshd.config?
I am not sure this is a good idea. Just because you have moved the default port to a different value does *not* mean you should disable authentication. A more sophisticated scan is quite likely to identify that the port is open for ssh and taking security of it is not very safe (particularly if open to the outside world). All this does is protect against 'dumb' scripts causing server load issues, once the port has been identified as being used for ssh it will become open to attack again. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
