invalid user ssh into my ubuntu server constantly ?
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NAY1)
I am trying to play around with remote server..
I realized this in live in auth.log.
Is this normal to have constantly invalid user trying to connect into my ssh server ?
Code:tail -f /var/log/auth.log | grep invalid
