[FreeNX-kNX] SSH server not running on port 22 - startsession fails

[Cameron Jenkins]

Hello,

You need to edit the file /usr/NX/etc/node.conf, and look for
"SSHD_PORT=22".

I too was tired of SSH brute force attempts, so I installed denyhosts,
which there is an ebuild for. I suggest you look into that if you prefer
to leave your ssh on port 22.

Regards,
Cameron Jenkins
