[arm-allstar] Trouble with Supermon

[Tony Ross]

While some people would criticize such alternate ports for wks 
(well-known services) as "security by obscurity", it does work.

I had a repeater owner ask for my help, as one of his irlp nodes seemed 
to not respond to ssh client requests; he couldn't log in remotely. It 
was difficult, but I eventually found a prompt. I immediately looked at 
/var/log/* and found some very large syslog files. Looking at their 
contents showed an ssh attack on port 22, so I changed the port to 
something in a different range, re-started the sshd and the problem stopped.

Using simple system tools such as grep, sort, awk, uniq and wc, it was 
easy to find that > 3.7 million ssh attempts in 4 days from 4 east-Asian 
IP addresses had essentially crippled the system.

It did speak well for his choice of passwords though.
