You probably don't want to advertise the port you chose either as per your
mail.
You may also wish to set:
PermitRootLogin no
AllowUsers gerald other1 other2 etc
(i.e. limit to users you care about with known strong passwords or keys only
as someone else suggested).
DUmb question - did you service sshd restart to make sure your changes were
picked up?
