sshd

I have my server running sshd for remote administration. Damn it, at night time, quite a number of bad guys try to enter on port 22 by guessing password. Woooooooooo.., too many meaningless connection sessions causing a high network traffic.

To reserve my bandwidth resource, I have to change the default sshd port to a peculiar port no. or else I have to stop the sshd daemon. This can be done easily by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config in which there is a line stating the port number.

Ha ha ...... even if I stop the sshd, I still have a work around solution for remote server administration which I will never disclose to any body.
