Obscurity is not a good primary line of defense. But there's no reason why-- all else being equal-- it can't be part of a more robust setup. The more obstacles the better: like simply not using standard port #s for services so that it takes more than a quick scan of common ports to find something. Simple, and sure easy to defeat, but it takes you off the list for the lowest having fruit of targets.
