Well, is there ever enough security? All I can say is that it has been good enough for my modest security requirements. Oh, I think I also limited the ssh access to two IP ranges. It still does not feel good to log on as root, but that is my trade-off for convenience. You will have to make your own judgements. Emergency access to files: I have an FTP server available on the server (again on a non-standard port) which I start up whenever I need to fiddle around. I very seldom use it, but on occasions it is helpful.
