> His "don't move off 22 for ssh" is also just opinion. He argues "you will be found"

Worse than that, that post misunderstands it's own statement:

"Sure, you will see fewer attacks than before, but most of the attackers are no longer just stupid bots"

That's a *good* thing, because the move has reduced the signal to noise ratio. By getting rid of most of the crufty noise of the internet, you now know that anything hitting your logs now is more likely to be an actual threat than the poorly automated dictionary attack bots.

Moving SSH to a different port doesn't make the system much more secure (and definitely shouldn't be the only thing you do), but it does generally enable you to be more responsive.
