I did this on a linux box (which of course I don't have access to right now for comparison) but can't seem to do this on my Mac. I wan¹t ssh to listen on port 23 as well as 22. I changed /etc/sshd_config in the following manner: Port 22 Port 23 <added this line. The others I just uncommented> Protocol 2,1 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 ListenAddress :: And toggled remote login in System Preferences, but an 'ssh -p 23' from another machine can't get me into my mac. It's not the firewall, I allowed 23. Normal ssh on 22 is unaffected. I'm almost certain that's all I did on my linux box to get it to listen on 23. What am I overlooking on OS X? - opa -- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////// If Builders avoid having a 13th floor, why aren't Publishers afraid to have a Chapter 11? http://home.nyc.rr.com/attilan/wonderfal/ <-- NEW location! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////
