Backup Central

Hello folks, I am trying to use rdiff-backup with ssh on a nonstandard port.
I tried in my backup script:

alias ssh=ssh -p 2021

I also tried creating a script named ssh containing the command:

/usr/bin/ssh $1 $2 $3 $4 $5

in a directory which preceded /usr/bin in the PATH

I am not a python programmer at all, but I also tried changing
the line:
__cmd_schema = 'ssh %s rdiff-backup --server'
in /usr/bin/rdiff-backup to
__cmd_schema = 'ssh -p 2021 %s rdiff-backup --server'

All of this to no avail. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this
problem?

Many thanks,

Rohit

PS: I am running Debian / Woody which comes with rdiff-backup 0.6.0-1

use .ssh/config ... with something like:

host foobar-nonstandard
hostname foobar
port 2021

then rdiff-backup to/from foobar-nonstandard::

That was a useful suggestion. I did what you said, and now
"ssh mytargetmachine" does in fact use the new port.
However rdiff-backup still fails with all kinds of error messages
It works fine on standard (22) port.
