I don't want to be stating something obvious or stupid, but what about running SSH on a high port ? I do that and have VERY little activity.
That *is* a good immediate response, in the way crush zones are: they don't mean you can get away with no seat belt. It is by no means a substitute for real security, just a good way to stave off a first wave of exploits targetting a vulnerable service, that can buy you time to lock it down. But it's *nothing* *more* *than* *that*. Regards, -- Aristotle @j = ((qw)" Just " )), @a = ((qw " another" )), @p = ((qw " Perl " )), @h = ((qw " hacker " )), (()),),(s""@j,",s (" )))g), print
