I have broached this subject before, also searched the archives & web for a solution, but no real, clear answer for those who are not already gurus in the subject. I've had light-to-moderate records of attempted SSH break-ins to my system in the past. Over the past week, I have had daily security records ranging in size from 10kb-120kb in size (the average for a "clean" record with no break-in activity is 2kb), with different IPs and ranges bein used, which leads me to believe multiple "kiddies" (or perhaps more sophisticated attackers) are somehow sniffing out my system and honing in for repeasted attacks. Would someone mind briefly talking about securing FBSD systems from such attacks, at least in a manner that's a bit more extensive and detailed than just saying "use Snort"? I'm not a newbie to FBSD, but I'm not a *NIX guru either. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks, John
