Yes, but most of these brute force attacks are done by script-kiddies only. And they rarely scan for sshd listening on other port. Most of the time, if they try to brute force attack sshd on a non-standard port, they're really serious in getting your machine 0wn3d. If that's the case, they're not script-kiddies anymore. Anyway, combining this with iptables/host.deny+allow whitelist (allow only trusted host) will do. -- Gideon N. Guillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take back the web!
