> No not solved yet. What is confusing me is I can log in perfectly well
using port 22 but when I do the following:
- change the port to listen on in sshd_config to some other random port
number ;-)
- open port forwarding in the router for that port, to the server
running the ssh daemon
- use the shell script mentioned before i get this error:
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
what else needs changing to allow the use of a non-standard port?
