Personally I find that changing the port to anything other than 22 stops
a lot of the skiddie brute force attacks.  Thats not to say you
shouldn't use something else as well - but it is something.


P.S.  Can someone please let me know if the mailing list got this
message - some of my messages have not been getting replies for some reason.
