Running sshd on a non-standard port is highly useful ; I always have 2
seperate sshd instances.  One on 22 and one on 222.  This way, if I muck up an
sshd upgrade, or config change, I can always get in through the other instance
on 222.

It is important to keep the 2 instances seperate, with serperate startup
scripts and binaries (as in, cp /sbin/sshd /sbin/sshd222)
