I suppose you know that if you put a machine on the Internet with an
SSH server listening on port 22, you are going to get bombarded with
password-guessing login attempts.

Previously, I thought that moving the SSH server to a nonstandard port
was sufficient to block these. But now I am seeing these attacks
happening on my Rimu VPS anyway. Should I bother to change the port
again?
