Do you know that latest version of openssh support ssh2 protocol? You
can upgrade to latest version of openssh instead.

SMK> The server is running ssh1. How do I remotely
First create proper init strings in init.d: just copy /etc/init.d/ssh
to /etc/init.d/ssh2 (you should do it before removing old ssh of
course) and edit to change filenames (name of sshd binary and name of
file with PID). Now run 'update-rc.d ssh2 defaults'
SMK> 1. start sshd2 (it will say port 22 is in use)
First start it on another port to test your installation. In its
config file (sshd_config) put config param Port which allows to
specify non default port for sshd. See 'man sshd' for details. You ssh
client should be able to connect to non-standart ssh port. Once config
file edited run '/etc/init.d/ssh2 start'.
SMK> 2. kill and delete ssh1
'/etc/init.d/ssh stop'. If you need to remove ssh 'apt-get remove sshd'
SMK> 3. create the proper init strings in init.d (if this is where

SMK> 4. create the proper init string to run sshd2 on server startup
SMK> or reboot.
See above.
SMK> 5. Reboot the machine and NOT have to call the ISP tech support

'/sbin/reboot' but you don't need it actually. At this moment you
should have new sshd running on non-standart port and no old
ssh. Change Port param to point to standart port back and restart new
ssh:
'/etc/init.d/ssh2 restart'
Final hint: even if you stop and delete ssh your already opened
session will not be closed. So DO NOT close you ssh session unless you
are sure that everything is working. If you didn't closed your session
you will still be able to fix things.
