Instead of changing the sshd port, I set a PF rule that only permits 
port 22 logins from a specific list of IP addresses, where I expect ssh 
logins from.

This would definitely not work on a production machine, with a lot of 
people logging in from random IP's, but for a small, private LAN, it 
works very nicely.
