once you open port 22 to public ip, you'll get people try to bruteforce your machine. if you don't want that set sshd to listen to a higher number like 5522 then forward port 5522 from the router to the internal machines. unfortunately for wrt54g, you can't forward port 5522 to 22 for internal machine. sham khalil _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
