That plus I changed my SSH port to something else, and run denyhosts.
Since then I rarely get any login attempts, and most of those only try once.
The router only lets SSH access to one box on my LAN from which I can
get to any others if I need. My router also sends me email logs which
show any log-in attempts.
Second the mention of DenyHosts.
<http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/>

I just did "yum install denyhosts", but "man denyhosts" responds "No
manual entry ...". Is denyhosts just automatic?
How do I change the port number of sshd? What are the pros and cons?
