If you use public key encryption, ignore it.

If you use a weak password, worry.

If it annoys you and you want cleaner logs (though not truly more secure server) switch the port number.

As for allow/disallow you can do that from within sshd.config as well

AllowUsers username

or even more restrictive

AllowUsers username@IP.Number
