I only want to offer ssh to the outside world (lan and wan) on port 22 while still being able to run sshd at non-root privs. Say port 2222 for non-root reasons but port 2222 must not interfere and best not be visible to the outside world. > The loopback addresses (127.X/8) are handled very > special. I found out. Why? It's just another interface. I would like to use the lo interface because it is hidden for the outside world, so a sshd at 2222 listening there is no problem.
