SSHD Port Change

Hey,

You all know that there are many fucking Script Kiddies out there who try to compromise your server.
They use Scripts which scan whole IP ranges for open ports.
The First Port they try is the SSHD Port. This is Port 22.
So it would be a good idea to change your SSHD Port.

Login to your server via SSH (Putty or something, i prefer Putty)

Now edit your ssh File in etc/ssh/sshd.conf:

Look for the line which says:

Port 22

and change that to a port of your choice, but be sure that your port is open. Just try a high one like 6334 or something. BUT PLEASE not all of you use THAT port smile 6442,6155,6232 or 5345 and so on is ok too smile

Now save that edited file.
Last step. RESTART SSHD.

/etc/init.d/ssh restart

You are done!

Please excuse my english skills, English is not my native tongue.
