I followed the directions for modifying templates at
http://www.e-smith.org/custom/Then I looked through the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to see where to chage ports. I then modified the template files located at /etc/e-smith//templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/ replacing all references to port 80 with a high numbered port. To copy the templates follow the directions on the custom site by running
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
I then rebooted (because I am a newbie)
A post from CMG (none) explains how to do it without restarting.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-admin restart
Hope this helps.
