In there you can specify any number of ports for ssh to listen using something similar to: Port 22 Port 3080 Other good ones to set in sshd_config: PermitRootLogin no Protocol 2 AllowUsers YOURUSERNAME Where YOURUSERNAME is the login id you want to allow to use ssh on that system. You may also want to set: X11Forwarding yes Compression yes Check out the man page: man sshd_config for more details.
