[lots of interest]
Much has been said so I'll be brief...
I found DenyHosts really easy to install and set up. The only problem
has been mistyping my password and being banned myself - using the
other VPS to reset it works, cough.
An idiots guide to setting up keys would be useful, but I will still
want to use (strong) passwords sometimes.
I would moan about moving the SSH port.
