CYGWIN, changing default port

CYGWIN, changing default port

[Jim Hobbs]

Hi there

Our sysadmin will not allow port 22 to be opened on our firewall.  He has 
suggested we use one of the VNC ports already open for the SSH projects.
To this end I have chosen to use 5800 as we just use 5900 for the VNC programs.

I have installed CYGWIN on a WinXP machine and it's working on port 22.  How 
can I change this to work with port 5800? Listening that is.

Thanks for any help :)

  The normal solution to this problem would be to drop a hippo on him.

  <boggle>  Let me see if I've got this right: your sysadmin won't allow you
to bring SSH in through the firewall, but VNC is just fine?

  I think you'd better drop two hippos on him.

  He clearly needs to have some sense knocked into him.

  Drop a hippo on it.[*]

  No problem!

  BTW, why are you asking for technical advice on sshd on the hippo list?

[*]  Or read the sshd usage instructions which make it perfectly clear.
Just because it's a daemon doesn't mean you can't still run it from the
command line and pass "--help".

Hi.

Sorry, I've been dropped in the deep end and am not entirely sure which way's 
north. I love hippos. Really. Wish they were brighter tho. Like, sky blue.

Found that I should be changing the Port value in sshd_config to make this work 
but permissions are hitting me now. Could you gimme a pointer as to where I 
should be posting help requests?

Thanks
