Ok, when I try "sshd -p 443" and then try to connecty putty to that, I get no response. Same thing for port 80.

For any random port it seems to work.

Why can´t I bind sshd to 443?

sshd can't bind to the ports 80 or 443 because they are already in use by apache2, if i understand what you're trying to do correctly.

Damn, what is apache used for? Can I "unbind" 443 from it?

Sorry, don't know anything about linux.

Thanks for your help!

I guess you want to use the ports 443/80 because they're allowed by your work's firewall, right?
I think you can "unbind" port 443 (SSL) in Apache's config (located /etc/apache/sites-available/bubba) by changing "NameVirtualHost *:443".
But im not sure if SSL is used in Web-admin?

https access is not required by web-admin. But very wise if you want to access the admin ui from unsafe places.

You should be able to change that port to something else as John says. Edit /etc/apache/sites-available/bubba and change every occurance of 443, should be on three places, to something else say 444 Save the file and restart apache Then if you want to access any web page on bubba with encryption you would have to do it like https://bubba:444/pagetoaccess

Hi tor and thanks.

Sorry, I don't have the apache dir!
An ls of etc shows an apache2, guess it has been renamed.

And now I've tried your thing, and I can now putty to 443 from home. Great! Will try it at work on Mon!

Cheers.
