@drRoss totally true. But at least it stops passive scanning on port 22. Targeted attack would be different of course.
Not best practice whatsoever because the box was most likely owned, but...
SSH kept defaulting back to port 22 when it wasn't supposed to. So, wrote a cronjob that checked diff between SSH config and backed up SSH config. If different, reload backup. Didn't get locked out again.
Box has of course been replaced.
