And add 5122/tcp to the &quot;Advanced&quot; tab in MCC -&gt; Security -&gt; Personal Firewall 
(if you are using a personal firewall).

If the server is accessible from the internet I would recommend some further 
changes to sshd_conf. This is what I use (assuming this is a server for 
personal use, not with hundreds of users connecting):-

=================================================

LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin no

TCPKeepAlive yes

AllowUsers -&gt;your user name here&lt;-
MaxStartups 2:90:4

==================================================

The &quot;MaxStartups&quot; parameter deters the script kiddies trying to guess the 
password:-


MaxStartups
========

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the 
SSH daemon. Additional connections will be dropped until authentication 
succeeds or the LoginGraceTime expires for a connection. The default is 10.

Alternatively, random early drop can be enabled by specifying the three colon 
separated values &#8220;start:rate:full&#8221; (e.g. &quot;10:30:60&quot;). sshd(8) will refuse 
connection attempts with a probability of &#8220;rate/100&#8221; (30%) if there are 
currently &#8220;start&#8221; (10) unauthenticated connections. The probability increases 
linearly and all connection attempts are refused if the number of 
unauthenticated connections reaches &#8220;full&#8221; (60).

Cheers 

Deri
