 Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2002 3:02 pm Post subject: change SSH port |
 |
|
Is it possible to change the port that my gentoo machine uses to listen for ssh? If so how do I do that and which port should I use. My firewall uses ssh, and I don't know how to change that, so in the mean time while trying to figure that out i will just change the gentoo machine if that is possible.
Thank you. |

Yes, you have to restart it

well, as far as I know there are several ways to accomplish that:
- the dirty way:
"killall sshd" and reinitialise with "sshd"
or
- the cleaner way:
'sshd stop' and 'sshd start'
This is unconfirmed, couldn't test whether this also works ...
