Re: [cobalt-security] sshd security tweaking



Hi,

Can you just change the port number in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, or do you also have to modify the lines

ssh             22/tcp                          # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh             22/udp                          # SSH Remote Login Protocol

in /etc/services?

Also, if you do need to do that, how do you get the machine to notice the changes... Is there a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ to do a restart with?

I'd be really embarrassed if I locked myself out of my server!

Changing the port could fool some port scanners, not all. But its still a
good addition to your security measures.
