ssh port not working
 

dear gurus

i have centos 5.4

i change port in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and restart sshd service

when i try to access, the new port not working and old port still responding from windows pc. then suddenly i found port 22 and new port stop responding no more.i use putty or securecrt from my window pc. then i connect 1 more linux box from there i do <ssh> i found it is still using port 22

i am not using any firewall or route nothing block it is testing on network.

then also i were using scp jobs in crontab that stop working.

highly appreciate in advanced

kind regards

You should change port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/ssh/ssh_config is ssh client for

try editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config
the clue was when you edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config and then restarted sshd service.

i change the port to 9999, and restart sshd and network service it does not work. the changing port has no effect on machine. it still connect ssh with port 22, what else could be missing, no firewall or selinux security in between i am testing overlan.

ssh -p 9999 10.1.1.193
ssh: connect to host 10.1.1.193 port 9999: Connection refused
[root@zamanda ~]# ssh -p 10.1.1.193
Bad port '10.1.1.193'
[root@zamanda ~]# ssh -p 22 10.1.1.193

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? no

Hi There,

I'm using centos as well in order for your ssh to work you must open the port in your local fire wall by typing the following:

from the command line type:

setup

go to firewall configuration

go to customize

under port add your port number

P.S like the other said make sure you do all your ssh configuration in:

/etc/sshd_config

Goodluck

sorry

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

BTW you must add the info I told you even if your firewall is disable.
