Bug ID: 3261
Summary: difficulty looking up default SSH port in
documentation
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 8.4p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Documentation
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: frederik-openssh at ofb.net
Just found it a bit strange that the default SSH port is not in the
main manual page:
$ cat /etc/services| grep -w '^ssh'
ssh 22/tcp
ssh 22/udp
ssh 22/sctp
ssh-mgmt 17235/tcp
ssh-mgmt 17235/udp
$ man ssh |grep -w port | wc -l
44
$ man ssh | grep 22
[1]$ man ssh | grep etc/services
[1]$ man ssh_config |grep -w 22
fault is 22.
What is the expected manner in which a new user learns this
information?
It is so basic that I would have put it in the second paragraph of the
manual page.
