There are plenty of good notes, not all Debian specific but the configuration is similar:Daniel Dalton a écrit :Hi, Does anyone know of a howto for debian describing how to setup a home ssh server (with sshd)? Thanks, Daniel.Hi, While it's true that installing ssh is as simple as using aptitude, you may find useful to know a bit more: http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-ssh-with-public-key-authentication-debian-etch If you use Putty on a windows client: http://www.howtoforge.com/ssh_key_based_logins_putty You can find many other tutorials regarding different aspects of the ssh setup, this is just for the use of key based identification, search www.howtoforge.com for more.

General setup http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ssh.htm http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/suse-linux-internals/chapter13.html Notes on security https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSHThe webmin module for SSH is very good and might help you understand what you are doing better.
If you set up a home ssh server and expose it to the internet you will get brute force password break in attempts so make sure you restrict who can log in very tightly and deny root login access as a minimum. We also block connections to our SSH port if someone connects more than a few times in a ten minute period.
