Re: Where to Put SSH Server? |

| Quote: | I'm setting up a network with a private network and a DMZ. I want to be
able to access machines in the private network via SSH from the
Internet. Should I put the SSH server on a machine on the private
network or on a machine in the DMZ?

You could SSH the firewall implementation between DMZ and private zone,
and from there into the private zone. Usually, you should control, from
where those ssh requests come, too.
| Quote: | I'm thinking the DMZ because then I'll need to SSH from there to the
private network and so will any attacker and breaking two SSH links is
more difficult than breaking only one if I SSH directly into the
private network from the Internet.

Yes. Especially, if you're only using PSK, i.e. DSA, and your both
SSH implementations are different programs, so an exploit in one of
them does not lead to making your private network unsecure.
