[wellylug] Securing my ssh box

Hi all

I'm trying to secure my linux box, accessible via ssh by using public key authentication. I read in an article that by enabling public key auth and disabling password auth, it will secure the ssh access. 

Is that all I need to worry about? Any opinions about whether this is the right /wrong thing to secure a ssh server?

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers
Hong
