There are a number of things you should do to your ssh connection in general to make it much more secure.
1) Configure AllowUsers to allow only the user(s) you want remote connections from. 2) Create users with atypical usernames for remote connections (eg sb907priv). Common names (dave, root, admin, etc.) by the hundreds or thousands are being attempted via SSH breakin scripts. Do not give access to common names 3) Read about GatewayPorts and forwarding. This is a security risk. 4) Disable remote root login via PermitRootLogin. 5) Set Protocol to 2 - do not allow SSH1 connections. -- MrC _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
