how do i run ssh off port 222?

I changed sshd put it is still 22

Change the port option in you sshd.conf file. If you want all ssh client connections to use 222 change the port in ssh.conf.

Hope that helps.

Just to re-itterate:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_conf (where it says Port 22 change it to 222 " make sure it is not commented out with a #, if it is remove the hash" it listens on port 22 by default otherwise.

Then restart sshd with: service sshd restart<cr>
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

If you need to have the local ssh &quot;client&quot; configured to use 222 when it connects then as in Usige's posting add the 222 port setting into the /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Good Luck

Hi,

Not to forget to change /etc/services file as well. Change ssh line to use 222.

To test it, start sshd manually with a -p222 option. sshd -p222.

It is still running on port 22....
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Ah! But did you log right out from your server and then back in before you scanned your ports?

Your existing ssh connection would remain open and connected on port 22 ... thats why you were still able to administer the server and change the port stop/start sshd and still work without being thrown off.

Try again,

Good Luck.
