[Dclug] Changing SSH port on Fedora 8 question

[ka3 at comcast.net]

Hello All:
Thanks everyone for your great help!
My problem was (as was suggested) that I needed to add port 9632 to /etc/sysconfig/iptables. I copied the line for port 22 and changed the port to 9632.

When I initially looked at the file iptables, it stated that I should instead edit the file /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall. I tried this. I copied the line for port 22 and added a line for port 9632. I restarted iptables but ssh from another machine would not work. I even tried a reboot but still it would not work. I was expecting the file iptables to have been changed but it wasn't. That is when I manually added the line for port 9632 as noted above.

Thanks again everyone!
Regards...
