The desktop machine is configured to use a high numbered port nnnn rather than 22 as I was getting a lot of unwanted login attempts on port 22. However, I'm assuming that an ssh request from desktop to headless will try port 22 on the headless server.
Bob, You can specify the port number to connect to on the ssh command line using the -p switch. For example, to connect to my father's machine behind his NAT firewall from my local network I use: ssh -p <portnum> user@remoteserver.domain Regards, -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
