Title: How to make SSH more secure?
Post by: gizm0 on May 08, 2005, 03:12:29 PM

I need to know how to make SSH more secure?

I have changed the default port and changed the ssh settings to drop idle users after 60seconds.

I use SSH to connect to my clients systems from my office.  Because I know my static IP I use this in a rule in the clients router (infront of the SME in server/gateway mode) to lock SSH down to just my IP (and of course any other relevant IP I nominate).

I do the same for PPTP VPN access and to a more limted extent HTTPS.

Works great and means no messing about with the SME box.
