Gandi has placed their public ssh key in root's .ssh/authorized_keys file. This makes me think Gandi intends to access my server, perhaps to help me with problems. I usually put my public key in that file. If I had not, by chance, noticed their key there I put have written over it. In this case I appended my key. Are there other files Gandi has changed I need to be careful not to overwrite? I usually move sshd to a 5 digit port number to reduce log messages from ssh dictionary attacks. That will make it difficult for Gandi to login. Do I need to leave port 22 in sshd? If Gandi told me the IP address range they intend to login from I could open a firewall port just for their addresses Bill.
