Summary
sftp-serverpath dynamically (default Debian/Ubuntu location + fallbacks) and wireSubsystem sftpto that path; restartsshorsshdafter changes.sshorsshd(Ubuntu vs others) and apply rate limiting on the configuredSSH_PORT.Merged with current upstream
fortress_improved.sh(v5.1 template,SSH_ALLOWED_USERS, etc.) so behavior stays compatible with the latest script.Motivation
Hardcoded
/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server,sshd-only service checks, andufw limit sshmiss common Debian/Ubuntu setups and non-default SSH ports.
