There is one potential disadvantage of non-standard ports: there are a few networks with a default-deny outgoing connection policy who open port 22, but do not open most ports. (I find 443 the most useful alternative port to run SSH on, outgoing to 443/HTTPS is very often open!) -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
