maybe implement something like a POP3S before SMTP thing? this time it will be called a POP3S (or IMAPS) before SSH. but then creating such a thing (and the daemon process to accompany it) can open another can of worms... another alternative would be to move the SSH port to some other number. at least if there's some script kiddie trying to portscan your box and try out ssh vulnerabilities, they would miss the bogus SSH port. security through obscurity can sometimes be good too :) -dre _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
