    Of course, this is just to stop mindless (and quite lame in this case)
    worms to fill my logs. It's almost-nonexistent impact on the complexity of
    the system, and almost all the scans (by worms or people with a
    portscanner) directed to ssh I've ever received are directed to 22 only.
    This, btw, seems to be the case with all the people I've speaked with on
    the subject, so I guess it's a good addition to the usual precautions
    (disallow certain users, do not use passwords and so on, guess everyone
    has a favorite receipt :)
