Personally I always change things in sshd_config, namely: LoginGraceTime 60 PermitRootLogin no IgnoreRhosts yes PermitEmptyPasswords no But I'm known as a fascist. :) In fact, I sometimes enable the fascist logging option, but it gets to be a little much on a busy system. You might want to contact the maintainer of the port about this. Personally I would support a move to make sshd more like the way FreeBSD does things because of the importance of it.
