The question, though, is whether changing the port is worth the hassle. If you're getting 1000 SSH attempts per day, and each connection takes .5 seconds of CPU time to fail, then you have to decide whether it's worth 500 seconds of saved time per day to move to a nonstandard setup. That may very well be the case, but a lot of people would probably decide that it's not. -- Kirk Strauser -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
