Hello Derek,
I don't use hosts.allow. I use the AllowUsers directive in the sshd.conf file to limit
the actual username/ip combinations. As a rule, I also close port 22 on the router.
When I need external access (e.g. when I am travelling) I will open some other port and
have sshd "Listen" on that port as well. At that time, I will add an obscure
username to AllowUsers with any ip address. Of course, I use the custom port to login.
Prior to implementing this setup, I used to get frequent daily login attempts.
Now I don't get any.
Thanks for your feedback.
Abid

How are you limiting this ssh access? Are you using hosts.allow? If
you are not using hosts.allow, I would suggest you do so.
