Changing ssh port by cl

[rockjr]

I need to change my ssh port from 22. What is the line command for rh linux to do this????

[sanjaykatiyar]

You can change the Port value in the
/etc/ssh/sshd_config file

ok, so i changed the port and did a save. i even cat out the file again to make sure the port said it was changed. I then did a updatedb and tried to login internally using the new port i assigned but it wouldnt let me in. It still let me in under the old 22 port. What am i doing wrong???

You have to restart the ssh service so it will reread the config file.

[FireMaster]

You have to restart the ssh service so it will reread the config file.

try this:
#service sshd restart

[rockjr]

is this what i use if i have redhat 5

Firemaster posted correct command for RHEL 5

[rockjr]

neither of the commands worked



[root@localhost m*****]# service ssh restart
bash: service: command not found
[root@localhost m*****]# service sshd restart
bash: service: command not found
[root@localhost mol*****]# /etc/init.d/ssh restart
bash: /etc/init.d/ssh: No such file or directory
[root@localhost m*****]# sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found
[root@localhost m*****]# cd
[root@localhost ~]# cd
[root@localhost ~]# serice sshd restart
bash: serice: command not found

It's service sshd restart. You're typing service ssh restart. The original poster entered the correct command, you just missed a letter =)
