Some time ago I looked at /var/log/messages and was amazed to see someone was running a script to try and get through port 22. Of course, sshd rejected every attempt, but it prompted me to move ssh to a different port.
Changing port numbers doesn't buy you a lot of security. On the other hand, using public/private keys provides much more security than passwords. Access to my network is via ssh or vpn only. so those are the only things I have to allow through my firewall.
Well, we're drifting off topic here, but yes, my ssh connections are all done with passwordless logins using public/private key pairs. Now, about letting minidlna traffic through my oS firewall...
