Hi Thomas,

I tried your hint, but this work only on install not with softupdate right? 

NFSROOT/ root/.ssh/config  is only used at install time

On softupdate the "local" root User is used. 

my reverse tunnel use "localhost" as host, so I think it is a bad idea to 
change the ssh port for localhost.

May be there is another way: scp and ssh  have an option "-F" to use another 
config file,  if you could extent "fai-savelog" to use something like "-F 
$MYSSHCONFIGFILEWITHSPECIALOPTION" if this variable is set to an file in the 
configspace.

May be?

Hi Reiner,

you can use /root/.ssh/config (inside the nfsroot) to specify a
different port for the ssh and scp commands. It should look like this:

Host faiserver.yourdomain faiserver
Port 1234
