Why Putting SSH On Another Port is a Good Idea
<p><pre><code>  2. Next he talks about this non-root listener issue. He 
  claims that you shouldn’t run your SSH daemon on a 
  non-privileged port because anyone can spin up a daemon

I don't think I understand this point at all.  What is it that you're trying to say?<p>Are you sure you understood the original post's point?<p><pre><code>  djc@capelis.dj:~$ nc -l -p 14
  nc: bind to source :: 14 failed: Permission denied
  nc: bind to source 0.0.0.0 14 failed: Permission denied
  nc: failed to bind to any local addr/port
  djc@capelis.dj:~$ nc -l -p 1414
  ^C
