@James: As for the "security through obscurity" post, you are missing the point. Changing the port number that SSH runs on is not "security through obscurity". Moving an already highly secure service to a different port so scanners don't hit it automatically is a different thing. This type of move is purely to reduce the amount of garbage in one's log file due to automated scans. However, I do agree that there are probably better ways to handle the situation, such as using rate limiting.
Not to mention that if there is a lot less "garbage", it is much easier to catch
something trying to sneak in. So it does have an element of security to it. Patrick _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
