Is there _any_ reason why moving from port 22 to something different is _not_ a solution? Reason why I'm asking: Moving SSH away from its default port seems to be a relatively good solution as break-in attempts concentrate on default ports. So in case a sysadmin decides to move SSH to a "hidden" location, what could be an argument against this decision? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
