I have created a separate config file for SSH to run and listen on another
port (for example: 5000 RSA connections only). I created another init
script called sshd-ext in /etc/init.d (Minor Modifications see file below).
I created file to call the new config in /etc/sysconfig/sshd-ext.
All seems to work fine except I get errors in the security logs. Which I
have seen from others post on the Fedora forum.
Nov 28 12:26:58 vpn sshd[26691]: error: Bind to port 5000 on 0.0.0.0 failed:
Address already in use.
Nov 28 12:35:42 vpn sshd[26691]: Received signal 15; terminating.
I edited the conf file and specified the IP Address of the interface to use
for this config:
Port 5000
#Protocol 2,1
ListenAddress 10.200.16.10
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
I verified the original sshd_confid was only listening on 0.0.0.0 and not ::
The problem is ssh seems to use the same PID for both processes and always
wants to bind on port 22 for some reason. If I restart one of the processes
it can and sometimes does kill the other process.
service sshd restart will kill the process started as sshd-ext.
I also run the same config on FC1 and I have do not have these issues.
