Simplest way:

 * run system-config-selinux;
 * click on Network Port;
 * look up the SELinux Port Type for port 22 (the normal SSH port); 
 * click on add;
 * enter the appropriate port number and SELinux Type.

If you want a command line equivalent, then try 
semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 344
(I haven’t tried this one, but it’s only lightly modified from the
semanage man page).

Hope this helps,

James.
