You can change the port /etc/ssh/sshd_config (or some config file in /etc). In mine, it's on the 8th line. Then I restarted sshd. But when I run %nmap localhost Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 23/tcp open telnet 79/tcp open finger 111/tcp open sunrpc 515/tcp open printer 6000/tcp open X11 It does not show 23 as the ssh port. Then I turn off telnet and still it does not show ssh coming in under 23 but still 22... Any help to how to switch this port over!!!?? THANKS

Summary: Yes. I checked netstat. It shows ssh listen. Also in ps -ef I can see /usr/sbin/sshd is running. Putty version release is 0.53b and I am changing the default option of telnet to ssh port 22 ! Are ther...
