Multiple SSH ports?

Unread post by kirkre »

We have SSH running on two ports. Port 22 which is only open to specific IPs, and another port which is open but with restricted features available. Is there any support in ASL for multiple SSH ports? I see rules like HIDS 5706 and 5701 which presumably work on a single port. If you change the SSH port in ASL does this also change the port for these rules?

Since port 22 is closed to the outside, one way to handle our setup might be to tell ASL SSH is on the second port and rely on firewall blocking alone for port 22. That makes sense to me on the face of it as long as the rules see the port change, but I'm not sure how that might react with other ASL features.

Any advise on how to best handle this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kirk
