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? Reiner Schulz -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: linux-fai [mailto:linux-fai-boun...@uni-koeln.de] Im Auftrag von Thomas Lange Gesendet: Montag, 30.

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 ... -- regards Thomas
