To clarify my last post. I agree with alan.

I mean it will help with the low hanging fruit. and I didn't get that
deep into how to run his auth. Thanks for adding. also disable remote
root access su to root if you need that. root=localhost only.

port knocking works very well too.

Thanks again for the add alan

Hi,

have pasted and also the advice on keeping the SSH on a different
port.

run SSH on a different port?  oka, dumb scanners wont find it, but
others will. just dont use password-based SSH and dont let it be wide
open to the whole internet (firewall it to the addresses you need -
and
add in a port-knocker if you do need to open from a different
location)
