SSH port and protocol

[BW -Tim]

How do I change SSH port and protocol?

I have edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config and restarted SSH, but it doesn't work, and users get a Connection Refused error. Is there anywhere else I need to update?

Port opened on firewall?

Port open on firewall

Yup, on both of them

Check /etc/services

Also change the ssh line in /etc/services to <portno.>

I've changed it, but it still doesn't work

How about editing /etc/xinetd.d/sshd? Find the port line and edit it to new port. Close, restart SSH?

I didn't have a /etc/xinetd.d/sshd file so created one and put in what that other thread said, and restarted SSH, but it didn't work.

When I unhash the protocol and port no from ssh_config and sshd_config files, SSH doesn't work, but WHM (specifically configserver firewall security scan) says the port has changed- could this have something to do with it?
