   Indeed !  :-)

   The "Everything *SEEMS* OK" approach is the short path
   to disaster.

   All the while the little termites are chewing-away at
   yer foundations .......

   Every day, sometimes twice a day, I look at the mail
   server logs, the firewall logs and SSH logs. Very
   often things are NOT as safe and secure as they *seem*.

   Checked the firewall logs Xmas evening - and yep, over
   4000 tries from a (fortunately narrow) range of addresses
   (DigitalOcean, of course, meaning "probably Russians")
   running linearly up the port spectrum with multiple kinds
   of login protocols to maybe figure out what was there.
   Probably an nmap or related sort of scan. Even included
   RTSP. They got a /16 scale block. But everything *seemed ok* -
   until you LOOKED. Once they'd found what they wanted they'd
   have proceeded with the brute-force attacks on the 'hot'
   ports for hours/days/weeks/months ...... it ain't humans,
   it's bots - they are legion and they never need to sleep.

   SSH can do a "login message" - point to a file. Mine
   delivers a 8k long "message" including all sorts of
   words that you'd kinda expect if you were trying to
   log in. MAYbe it confuses bots, makes 'em send their
   auth tries too soon ... maybe. Doesn't hurt anything.
