yes, if only to save the crap in the logs. Any port above say 40000 should
do I would think, but you may have other restrictions depending on the
firewalls from behind which you need access - if they restrict outgoing
port numbers then you are unlikely to be able to use that range.
thanks, Fil
yes, that's a better idea than buying latger HD (for the logs)
what about a low port, I saw a suggestion like port 14 ?
what command to see used ports ?
I believe netstat will list listening ports/sockets on a system.
Of course, it goes without saying that changing the port is not
replacement for good security measures such as password strength, keys,
etc etc.
