Securing SSH



Good morning,

I'm looking to tighten up my ssh configuration. I have to have SSH open
on the box at home so I can get to it from the office. I've found
several articles on securing ssh that include deny root access and
require 'wheel' group membership for su.

Is changing the port to something non-standard a good idea? What else
can I do; can someone point me to a good write up on it?

Thanks,

:b!
