I went into /etc/ssh/sshd_config. and changed the port from 35881 to 7777 and restarted sshd , what puzzels me is how the setiing of port 35881 got in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

And I now have have ssh set at 7777 and listening on that port.
I also got the firewall setup on 7777.

Thhanks for your help Ed.
