Incidentally, if you're moving your SSH port because of bots trying to brute
force your SSH server, don't use a "guessable" port number like 2222.
I did put a honeypot PC in my DMZ for a while so that everything incoming
was forwarded to it by the router - and I have seen bots using other ports
than 22 for brute forcing.
