Somebody in the thread at some point said: > With a nonstandard port you do have to remember to use the -p parameter of ssh > to connect (and the -P parameter of scp) but in my opinion it's worth it. Oooh I'm going to make your day then... I used -p / -P for a long while without complaint. Then I discovered one can set up a two line stanza per server in the client side ~/.ssh/config: Host some.server.com Port 12345 will magically get ssh and scp to "know" the correct default port for any ssh activity to some.server.com. COOL! That and ssh-agent holding passphrases: safe ssh on a random listening port is really transparent and easy. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
