Not wanting to state the obvious, but are you using the -p switch when
connecting? eg:
ssh -p 26 myhost.mydomain.com
now doing that

I thought to do that as well but found it wasn't just a matter of
changing the port from 22 to summat else in /etc/ssh/sshd_config as
I couldn't then ssh in when I tested it from another terminal
getting an 'unable to open port 22' error. if you've moved to port 26 by adjusting the port
line
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Port 26
to make things more convenient you can create a file in ~/.ssh called
config to set default settings, so:
Host myhost
Hostname myhost.mydomain.com
Port 26
User john
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
would allow you to use:
ssh myhost
and automatically use the correct port to get to the server, as well
as start the login with the user john and appropriate key file.
Sorry if that's all obvious :)
not obvious to me so very welcome, thanks Paul
