This is part three of our series on configuring a Slicehost slice.
Step Three – Install and Configure OpenSSH
Install OpenSSH
sudo aptitude -y install openssh-server openssh-client
Edit the sshd_config file to listen on port 1999 instead of port 22
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find Port 22 and change 22 to 1999 and then save the file.
Restart the SSH server so that the configuration takes hold.
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
That’s it!
Part 4
Tomorrow, we are going to install the web server, nginx.

Nmap with a full range scan would still be able to find out that you have OpenSSH running behind 1999, i don’t bother changing my ssh port for this reason.
