Anyway - while the server is working on the new port and I can connect, I noticed this error:

Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: Server listening on :: port 1294. Oct 4 09:01:25 li34-4 sshd[2305]: error: Bind to port 1294 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.

Is that caused by a mis-configuration on my part? The only change I made to sshd was the Port directive (root login was already disabled in the xen image I started from)

It looks like it is listening on the port and then trying to bind to the port a second time.

This has to do with ipv6. google shoud give you more details. :-)
