Changing ssh listening port

[mk01]

there are two options:

you enable upstart job ssh_hid (this is the generally known ssh running through its own daemon (sshd running all the time). then /etc/ssh/sshd_options is fully working like before.

second option is almost like you did. the only problem would be that if you create new service name (my_new_ssh) the "ssh" service wont get recognised for system tools & xbian-config - as they all expect ssh.

so don't be afraid to change /etc/services by directly editing "ssh 22/tcp" to "ssh 2222/tcp:".
