Be carefull to change SSH port! Don’t change “Port 22″ line, just add “Port 3333″, after that restart sshd. And then check 3333 port availability (it happens that provider blocks some non-standard incoming ports) at http://check-host.net/check-tcp . After successfull result you could delete “Port 22″ line and restart sshd again.

Worked great for me using 10.04 server edition..

ssh’d in normally using PutTTy..

Typed sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Modified “Port” line (near top) from 22 to my port.

Saved/quit vi

Typed sudo service ssh restart

Logged out of ssh and then attempted using standard port and failed. ssh’ed in using new port, and all is working fine.

Thanks!

This is the second post I’ve seen like this neither work.
Running Intrepid Ibex…
Thank goodness there is still fedora core and centOS. apache2 was really hard to install from source and a complete pain in the as* as well.

@Ramesh In Ubuntu when you install openssh the daemon is installed as ssh instead of sshd, Ubuntu dropped the d form most of the daemon. I am running this on Ubnutu hardy installation.

It is /etc/init.d/sshd reload. i.e instead of ssh, it should be sshd – SSH daemon.
