Tired of seeing repeated attempts to login to a Linux server you run? There are a number of options, all with their own benefits and disadvantages. The easiest way is to move the port that the SSH server runs on, perhaps to 2222
instead of 22
. However. this can be annoying behind some firewalls and means that you need to specify the port each time you SSH to a host. This post looks at denyhosts, a viable alternative.
