SSH port other than default 22

    Hi

    I am using a different SSH port to the default 22 but with no luck. Although I can connect with the default one.

    Does eBox's firewall allow you to specify a different SSH port? I have a feeling that it only allows port 22 for SSH.

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? Is SSH started on the system?

    And yes, SSH is started. It works perfect if I leave it as default 22

    Thanks Falko

    SSH is currently running on port 22, maybe you edited the wrong config file.

    hmmmm......

    I had to change it to 22 in order to connect to get the output of 'netstat -tap'

    FYI, the config file edited was /etc/ssh/sshd_config and I gave ssh a restart after that.

    BTW, I notice this only happens on a system where eBox with its firewall is installed.

    The eBox firewall assumes port 22 for SSH, so if you use another port you might have problems. You can try to open another port in the eBox firewall, but I'm not sure if te web interface allows you to do it.

    Thanks Falko. I'll see if I can find a fix.
