  • odysseus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You also might consider adding the following to sshd_config:

    Port 52412 # listen on something besides the default port of 22
    Protocol 2 # deny use of old insecure SSH1 protocol
    AllowUsers you@1.2.3.4 # allow only yourself @ your IP to connect

    Type man sshd_config and read up on how you can (and should) limit the number of login attempts and limit login timeouts to some low number like 30 or 60 seconds.
  • odysseus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Also, PermitRootLogin should be set to no by default. If it isn't, you should set it to no right away and consider upgrading to a newer version of openssh or openssh-portable. And if you don't need SCP or SFTP, disable them.
