| NamePros Member | Your way is good, but I also do it this way. To effectively secure your ssh even further, you need to do:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
1) change the #Protocol 2,1 to Protocol 2 (remember to remove the remark since it's a comment)
2) change the PermitRootLogin yes to PermitRootLogin no
3) change the PermitEmptyPasswords no to PermitEmptyPasswords no
4) change Banner /some/path to Banner /etc/issue |
