Perhaps the first thing I do on a new server is: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config And uncomment the port line, change the port number to my favorite port number, save the file, then restart sshd. I much perfer this method to setting up port limiting runs in iptables and ip6tables. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
