Dear List Lurkers,
The comment that hit home to me is the "..." directory, especially when
something as simple as:
<snip>
ls -altR | grep "\.\.\." | less
<snip>
Will smoke it out.
That said another unsung but important security tool protects against the
dictionary ssh attack.

Several versions are available. A highly recommended tool.
Kindest Regards,
