In the config change PermitRootLogin to 'no' to make any bot attempts to brute force root login completely irrelevant. Thanks for the video. I couldn't remember if sshd was ready to go at install or not. A friend runs Arch on his laptop but the screen is borked. Gave him a tutorial on remotely administering the system from his phone via SSH
