Topic: ssh and apache on non-standard ports

[Michiel]

For those who have ISPs that block port 22 and 88, I just published the following two rpms on http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/Contribs/

- httpd10080:  Open port 10080 and let apache listen to this port. Webpages are served from the primary website.

- sshd10022: Open port 10022 and let sshd listen to this port.

For both services also the standard ports remain active. The contribs work on SME 5.6 and 6.x

Use at your own risk

Very good !!

I am making some eperiments on remoote control via user panel and ssh tunneling at the moment. I would like to scheck if this is also possble via the alternative port 10022

A very good reason for using port 10022 (and 10088), I think, is is that firewalls usually do not block theese ports. (Well it happens..)

If I install the ssh/10022 module, will then the ordinary port 22 function stop working ? If the use of port 10022 eventually should show not to be a success for my purpose, would it then be possible to remove the alternative ssh module and have back the ordinary ssh/port 22 ?? (By using )

Thanks for your work !!

Arne.

Arne,

Ports 22 and 80 are not touched, so you can continue to use them. My contribs basically *add * ports 10022 to ssh and 10080 to httpd.

If you do an rpm -e to remove the contribs, both ports are closed again. The original ports 22 and 80 remain active at all times.
