In /etc/ssh/sshd_config replace "port 22" with "port <whatever high port (> 1024) you like>"
Then configure your ssh clients accordingly.
So I added Port 2977 Under Host *
So I have: Host * Port 2977
I rebooted and I get a connection refused now when I try to connect.
I am doing: ssh -p 2977 user@ip
My firewall is set to allow 2977.
Just for shits I changed this to 29770
I ran: system-config-securitylevel-tui and customized and added 29770:tcp to other ports
I then: nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config and said Port 29770
So that I have: Host * Port 29770 Protocol 2
I then did: service sshd restart
and I still get connection refused. Comment out Port 29770 and all is well again.
Have you restarted the ssh daemon after changing the config file?
Also, have you restarted the iptables service after changing the firewall rules?
