Why does my ssh keep dropping after changing its port

[pushback]

I modified my sshd config so I am now using a non-standard port. Back when I had it on the standard port my ssh sessions never dtopped. Now, with the non-standard port my sessions keep dropping after a minute or so.

I don't see anything in the logs that gives any hints. Any ideas?

Try changing the entry for port 22 from /etc/services

Thanks for the suggestion. I changed the entry, restarted the network and sshd and it still drops.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Try ssh with the -v option and see if the verbose mode tells more. Is this an ssh between two Linux machines. Does it get dropped no matter which machine starts the ssh session?
