Well, it wouldn't make me sleep better at nights, since I know that
there's an unpatched sshd out there. And even if it would be on another
port, a non-Script-Kiddy could break in easily.
Apart from avoiding security by obscurity, you're right, you can do it.
If I'm responsible for several dozen of boxes out there, I still
couldn't sleep at night, even though the sshd might be on another port
than 22 :)
Perhaps it winds down to: Do it on your private box, don't do it "at
work" :)
regards,
Marian
