openssh concerns

[Daniel Bond]

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
