 Glad to hear - I should also mention that this is very easy to do using
the selinux GUI manager as well.

  Click System->Administration->Selinux Managerment

  Click Network Ports

 (scroll down to see ssh - on port 22 - note the ssh_port_t)

  Click the Add button

  Add your port with type ssh_port_t
