Hi.
I explained my opinion quite well (imo) a bit further down in my
previous email. I'm not sure what
to answer.
I don't necessarily think it's relevant for every computer running
sshd. I see a tendency to change
sshd port to 2022 and other port numbers. I'm not sure everyone doing
it is aware that using
unprivileged ports also has consequences, compared to (often) a few
harmless logentries.
I'd much rather use an privileged port, or mac_portacl(4), like
mentioned earlier.
Best regards,
Daniel.
I've noticed quite a bit of suggestions to use 2022, 2222 and such
