DYNES folk:

Our IT security folks are hell-bent on blocking all traffic destined for the
normal SSH port (TCP 22) as it comes into our campus. (This is an effort to
thwart brute-force SSH attacks.)

I think DYNES is dependent on SSH for normal operation, or at least
administration, so I suspect this traffic block will have a negative impact
on our DYNES participation.

Is there a reasonable way to have our DYNES connectivity continue to work in
the presence of the SSH traffic block (other than exempting our DYNES gear
from the traffic block)?
