Security through obscurity == Bad idea.

There was a discussion on the OpenBSD mailing list, someone requested how to hide the OpenSSH version identification.. Theo striked them down.

Anyway, the point is, instead of hiding the version... keep on it, look out for vulnerabilities and maintain the machine "you" put on the Internet.

If that's too hard for you, lookup the <Limit> directive.
