BTW port 25 is not SSH, it's SMTP. SSH is port 22.


Putting SSH on the open internet with port 22 means it'll be readily identified when people scan. Then they might well try to use dictionary attacks etc. - I'd advise against it simply to stop the log files filling up.


If you're putting sshd on its standard port available to the Internet, why are you allowing password-based auth?
