Any reasoning for this? I definitely disagree. Anything that has an open ssh port should run it IMHO. And that's more than just servers....
Alternatively - use keys for ssh, and that problem is gone. Or if that's too cumbersome, move ssh to a higher port. Works wonders.
I do both.
When you're using keys, there is no need to change the port. You gain nothing.
Less noise on the logs, banging the port 22 produces nothing.
1) one line is logged per attempt 2) no one is going to bother Personally, I don't bother. And any rapid "banging" is easily rejected by the firewall. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.8°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
