Hi Fellow Marks,

I normally don't reply here however the simple solution is to run a 2nd
instance of sshd on any random port you choose, ie. "sshd -f
/etc/ssh/sshd_config_private" or whatever you choose. You could then easily
firewall that port and only allow specific IP's to connnect.

Thanks,

Mark
