Looking through lots of online sites for making changes/mods to
sshd_config files to harden/secure the process.

Would it be cool to post the changes here for comment?

Yes.

Also, anyone have suggestions as well?

My initial steps are always:

- PermitRootLogin no
- PasswordAuthentication no
- AllowUsers just specific logins names here
- UseDNS no

The UseDNS one is only slightly security - by disabling DNS lookup of incoming clients we (a) speed things up, particularly on high latency links and (b) stop leaking information about who is connecting to use to upstream DNS servers (from the DNS query).
