[LCH Announce] SSH Changes

[Phillip Baker]

Hi,

In an effort to reduce alarms being thrown as a result of worms brute 
forcing SSH (which appear to be on the rise again) we have taken the 
decision to move the port SSH listens on on our servers. For most of 
you, this means no change whatsoever, but for those of you using SSH 
login functionality, you'll need to make some minor alterations to the 
way you connect.

Effective immediately, maelstrom, cpanel0, wave0 and other servers with 
customer facing SSH service will have their SSH daemon relocated to port 
222 - you will need to update your SSH client saved sessions/preferences 
accordingly when connecting for SSH - please consult the documentation 
for your individual software.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Regards,
Phillip Baker
