HI All,
With my new firewall in place, it has opened my eyes to how much traffic gets blocked in a single day and also what are the most active rules. I get *a lot* of requests for port 22.
Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
You can specify the port there, it's the first option which is commented out.
How does one switch ssh ports? What is a good port to use? What ramifications does it have when I need to ssh in? Is it as simple as ssh user@hots:port?
To specify another port you need to use ssh -p X -l whateveruse IP
I don't think there are any ramifications/disadvantages of running the SSH daemon on a non standard port.
