    Jacob,

    Thank /you/!

    Please post what your research finds. I've been intimidated by the
    technicalities, and the contradictions, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, man
    sshd_config, man ssh, /etc/pam.d/ssh, etc.

    For example, /etc/ssh/sshd_config default settings/comments seem to
    contradict man sshd_config for Use PAM.

    I trust my current settings for security on sshd, but the complexity of
    it all is beyond me, and I'm reluctant to add the lines you suggest for
    fear of breaking something I don't understand. The idea here was to be
    a less attractive target, though I've tightened down most of the
    settings pretty seriously already. No need to let anyone rattle the
    door knob until they tire, rather send them on their way much sooner.

    I'll be reading the thread to see what you discover!

    Regards,
    Ralph
