SSH Source Port issue

Mohamed Saleem_1 — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:03:25 GMT

When i am trying to do as ssh from server A to another server B , A uses 1023 as source port and 22 as destination port.

Here the ssh is failing and it is because the port 1023 is blocked at firewall device. ( ssh within same subnet works )

Is there is any way to change the source port
( > 1023 ) during ssh. As the ssh being used as several place in the server, manual port change is not preferred

Please help !!

This is documented in the OpenSSH FAQ.

Use:
# ssh -o "UsePrivilegedPort no" host.com

Good luck
