I'd also like to add that if you have a static IP from which you connect, you can change sshd_config to only allow connections to the machine from specific IP's to specific accounts, for example: AllowUsers
[email protected] That way, only account webflake from IP 127.0.0.1 can access the SSH. It also doesn't hurt to actually use a SSH key to authenticate. They're basically impossible to replicate and you'll end up with a much safer system. You can also use an asterick either on the account part or in the IP part, so you can make webflake accessible from everywhere or make every account accessible from 127.0.0.1 IP.
