Neither is what I was thinking of, but they're quite similar. |

LoginGraceTime means if nobody logged in within 10 minutes of the |
| 17 |
connection being opened, then it will be closed. I don't know |
| 18 |
exactly what MaxAuthTries does, but I imagine after the sixth invalid |
| 19 |
login, the connection would be closed. |

I found this site, check it out. It's for Red Hat (Gentoo is |
| 22 |
better!), but it's the same SSHd: |

GRUB does have some password protection, but it is optional and only |
| 31 |
needed IIRC if you want to boot something other than the default entry. |

Me too. I'm waiting for some more hardware to arrive before I |
| 36 |
connect this server to the networks (it's primarily a NAT gateway |
| 37 |
with iptables, but also *for the LAN, not the Internet* runs Apache, |
| 38 |
ProFTPd, SSHd and rsyncd for Portage). |
