SSH hardening
SSH
Policy
SOVIEZ_SSH_POLICY default staged — hardening is applied carefully to avoid lockout.
Safety
- SSH hardening may be deferred if lockout risk is detected
- Fail2Ban may be installed for brute-force protection (this is not Webmin)
- Do not disable SSH access without an out-of-band console
Troubleshooting
If SSH hardening is deferred: review security report, ensure alternate access, then re-run --security-harden intentionally.
