Yes its a restriction from the OS, I will have to start the process as root which is unfortunately not an option from security point of view.
To overcome the problem, I have tried re-directing the port 22 to 45000 (using iptables) and it worked. But my concern is that I have to add 45000 to the firwall file to get it working. Acc to my understanding, 45000 is an internal port and shouldn't have to be added to the firewall file. I guess slightly offbeat from the apache mina framework. Am I missing something here? Appreciate any help. Thanks On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 6:25 AM, Ramakanth MS <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am trying to implement Apache Mina (SSHD) as a SSH for our product on a > linux OS.
