    ssh becomes unbound to port 22. Causing now new connections to the BBS. somtimes I can restart the bbs. Othertimes I have to reboot the entire VM. Not sure if this is a linux thing or if the problem occurs if running windows.

    OS level SSH is configured on a non-standard port to prevent it from having a conflict with the bbs itself.

    Anyone have any ideas on this issue?

    Firstly, this is the wrong area for Synchronet-related support questions. See http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support

    With regards to your SSH issue the actual full complete error messages (bind failures) would be helpful. I don't believe anyone else is having this same problem.

    I never came into a problem with it unbinding to the port or rather stop listening. I have however had a problem having it to initially bind to the lower standard ports as a non-root user because I forgot setcap a few times after rebuilding. Might just want to double check your openssh service configuration as well and make sure you don't have two services fighting over the same port.

    My appologies. I have read the link that you provided and if the problem continues I will look into it more.
