That's right, my standard practice for this sort of problem is to disable root |
| 13 |
& passwd authentication in favour of public key and then move the ssh port |
| 14 |
away from the bots. The problem is that on this occasion, this is not my |
| 15 |
server. I'll have a word with the owner and see what he thinks. |
