Improve OOTB SSH security

Recommended Posts

Please consider disabling SSH OOTB.

Reason: Root has no password yet. Some people have their 22 port already open for other devices they manage on their network.

 

A warning popup before letting the user turn on SSH, recommending the user first:

1. ideally sets up SSH keys; or

2. At a minimum, set a strong password; or

3. They're network is internal only (i.e. 22 isn't forwarded).

 

Additionally, incorporate the features provided in the SSH/DenyHosts plugins authored (or fixed) by @docgyver . I notice that the SSH plugin's origins are from at least 2013, but docgyver picked it up only at unRAID 6.1. It's unfortunate that such essential for security SSH configurations must be maintained by a volunteer. If docgyver hadn't picked it up - i'm not sure we would have the enhancements his/her plugin provides.

 

 

Thank you :)
