My recommended approach would be to block *all* incoming connections to sshd via either /etc/hosts.deny or via iptables. Then, add only those hosts or subnets who you know need incoming access. In my case, I allow incoming access from my office subnet and from a trusted colleague but everybody else is blocked. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program
