Thanks. I just finished reading this, and am now reading the article on
OpenSSH hardening that you linked. I had root login disabled from the
start, so that's a start. :)

I've also seen some forum posts suggesting that I can disable password
authentication for all users by default, and then allow exceptions for
particular users. This might help me harden Tanelorn without making
things harder for less-skilled users who haven't gotten the hang of
generating a ssh key and copying it yet.
