Rsync port and firewall
hi guys

I doing some collocation for a customer, customer requested to use other port for ssh not the default one. OK no problem
and customer will be using rsync to sync backups among other things

I know we have to open port let's say port 5999 for ssh since we are using that one now but I am not sure if port 873 for rsync needs to be opened?

rsync - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

thanks a lot

rsync uses port 873 by default per /etc/services so it would have to be opened; however, you don't have to use the default port...you can change it on the command line. see rsync --help
