Change the default SSH server port on 10.3
Lets see if I can do this without being too inflamitory... (It's just a discussion after all)...
Change the default SSH server port on 10.3
I have not *yet* seen any *good* reasons why people say not to use /etc/services . OK. Open a Terminal window and try to SSH to any other computer. You should fairly quickly see a perfectly good reason not to edit /etc/services. It's all about namespaces. Conventions, standards, nomenclature, terminology. If you change names or numbers in the /etc/services file, you're effectively crippling your own computer's ability to talk to others on the Internet, and Things Will Break(TM). The fact that making this change also happens to solve your pet problem on this particular operating system is just one unfortunate side effect. By the way, you can reset the outgoing SSH port to 22 by editing the /etc/ssh_config file. This could be considered kludging the broken setup, though. --Bud |
