change ssh port on R80.40 and higher

[Wolfgang]

 CheckMates,

changing the ssh port via /etc/ssh/sshd_config is broken since R80.40. You can change the port, restart sshd service everything will be fine. But after a reboot the changed entry is removed from sshd_config.

Is there a new clish command available for changing the ssh port or do we have to made the sshd_config readonly after the change ?

Starting from R80.40 Jumbo Hotfix Take 83, instead of editing/backing up /etc/ssh/sshd_config, you should edit/backup /etc/ssh/templates/sshd_config.templ and run /bin/sshd_template_xlate < /config/active

SK was deleted and did not survive jumbo install i.e. on R81.10.

Is there actually a workig process to change ssh port permanently?
