> I'd advice against changing the ssh port

Hard disagree, even if for as simple a reason as port 22 gets inundated by drive by hacking attempts, making the log files virtually useless.

Running telnet with no password on any port would be, but having ssh on a non-default port isn't trying to achieve security through obscurity.
