As such, changing the initial port is a good annoyance value: it makes finding which port the real "meat" is in slightly harder to find.

Nonsense. Performing a port scan is trivial and quick, and probably something every script kiddy has started his attack with since the beginning of time ( 1-1-1970 ;) ). Ostrich policy is never a good security policy, as it only serves to give the CIO a warm fuzzy feeling without achieving anything worthwhile. Only confuses & annoys the next admin to take your chair.


Tony, normal office workers are NOT script kiddies.
Please REREAD what I wrote and comment IN CONTEXT.
I have very little patience nowadays for "nonsense" comments. particularly from people with difficulty reading.
OK?
Oh, and there will NOT be a next admin taking my chair, I can assure you and all the other would be pretenders of that!
