I moved sshd to a different port than the standard 22 just so most port scanners won't run across it -- unless they are scanning every single port. In the case that someone scans every port and sees this one open... I figure they might telnet to it to see what it might be. Currently when you telnet to it you will see: Escape character is '^]'. SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 YbrickRd I was able to get the OS type off (which is why it reads YbrickRd) but I would prefer that nothing at all shows up. Or, at the very least, that I can change the message so it won't announce that is it ssh with its version. I know there must be a way to do this but I can't seem to find it in the config file or the man pages. When I searched on the web I didn't find anything either. Does anyone have a clue on how to make sshd shutup? Kevin -- The moon is a planet just like the Earth, only it is even deader.
