[LUG] Securing SSH

 

Hi all,
 
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with configuring and securing the SSH daemon from unauthorised access. I have recently discovered that my server was being targeted by a dictionary attack via SSH on Port 22 and therefore got me thinking about ways to restrict by IP address or even not to use remote SSH login via the root login at all and access the server via alternative means.

Anyone got any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
 
Regards
