Symptom
You need to connect to a server with sshd running on it on a non default port
Cause
none
Solution
It is relatively easy to connect to a non default port, you just add -p followed by the portnumber to connect.
e.g.
ssh -X -l username -p 2345 10.10.119.20
the -p 2345 is the non default port you have running the sshd daemon on.
