I'm running sshd on a server and I've set:
PermitRootLogin no
But I _assumed_ it would stop attempts like the following:
-----------------------
Apr 19 07:11:49 huntlab sshd[15840]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication
failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=204.228.225.88
user=root
Apr 19 07:11:50 huntlab sshd[15840]: Failed password for root from
204.228.225.88 port 50082 ssh2
-----------------------
And I've heard babble about PAM settings and such. So, I'm thinking
that I just don't have it locked up completely. I expected the sshd
server to immediately refuse the connection without having to go through
the challenge response or password auth. Does anyone have any clues to
hit me with?
