From a sysadmin perspective, I run logwatch which will email me every time someone tries a remote login. After a single weekend I've gotten over 100 emails with scripted attempts at ssh entry. going through them all looking for more meaningful activity is pretty boring. More than anything else, it's some peace of mind that the amateur bad-guys won't get in. --- ryan <[email protected]> wrote: > Gotcha, then why run SSHd in a non-standard way > (oddball port)? > > I think leaving SSHd on its normal port and grep'ing > through /var/log/messages > would produce some valuable output (subnets to block > on your firewall). > > > On Tuesday 21 March 2006 11:51 am, Michael Papet > wrote: > > Therefore, script kiddies won't have any > opportunity > > to test dumb username/passwords. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a > groundbreaking scripting language > that extends applications into web and mobile media. > Attend the live webcast > and join the prime developer group breaking into > this new coding territory! > http://sel.as-us.falkag.net/sel?cmd=lnk&kid=110944&bid=241720&dat=121642 > _______________________________________________ > Guarddog-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/guarddog-user > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
