14 No, my computer is not a public server, I can change the listen port;
15 I'd use key and password: usually I connect from the same machine.
16 I want to do that: a rda key from the host allows to connect to the ssh
17 server and after the usual authentication.
18 Now I try to install a firewall and after that I'd do that.
19 Is it complicated?
20 In this moment I try to learn about firewall-kernel-2.6 modules...
21 Thanks,
22 Luigi
