RE: [FW1] SSH on port 22

["Juppunov, George" <gjuppunov@FW1-NOSPAMbofasecurities.com>]

Changing default port assignments will probably create more problems then it
would solve.
In general, it's a myth that it would be more secure if you do it. Any
decent hacker would 
pick it up pretty quickly. Allowing any direct access into your internal
network, other than
your DMZ is ill-advised. Anyway. That's my 2c worth.
