1. Run sshd on a different port. The scripts won't find you there. I don't like this option, because it requires me to specify the alternative port every time i ssh, scp, rsync, or svn. It's still about the easiest and most effective method.
You can especify a default port to connect to the target host in .ssh/config.
Host myhost1.com
User user1
Port 12345
Host myhost2.com
User user2
Port 54321
