Sounds like a good idea to have something in place out of the box.
PC-BSD, which has SSH server running by default also has DenyHosts
configured and running by default.

Hello all!
After reading this article:
http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/02/16/2129244/ssh-password-gropers-are-now-trying-high-ports?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
I have been using Blockhosts (http://www.aczoom.com/blockhosts) for
many
years now without issue (I also use a certificate with passwords
turned
off) but I leave the port as standard 22
I never tried the others, so not sure which is most effective . . .
My question is two fold:
1) I was curious of what others use on Mageia - and your experiences
2) Should we not have something standard in the SSH config during
install as a dependency? Make it automatic so at least the standard
config of ssh is a bit more protected from bot scans??
I'm interested to see what everyone says on this list . . .
Have a nice day-
Cheers, R.Fox
