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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
