I dont think moving ssh from port 22 will stop portscans but it
will stop
brute force attacks directly on port 22.
Perhaps I was unclear. I haven't seen the large numbers of attempted
logins with obvious dictionary lists of usernames on ssh since I
moved it.
I'll have to look into denyhosts...what does it do? I can't predict
where I might be coming from, as I'm frequently at client locations
and travelling.
I prefer to just run denyhosts on my servers instead:
# eix denyhosts
* app-admin/denyhosts
Available versions: 1.1.2 1.1.2-r1 2.1
Installed: 2.1
Homepage: http://www.denyhosts.net
Description: DenyHosts is a utility to help sys admins
thwart ssh hackers
