ssh ports for monk and nun?

Trying to get ssh working via putty from behind my company firewall. Had some success in the past with sourceforge because they had ssh daemons listening on ports 80 and 443, to aid prisoners like myself. Does anyone know if the monk (darcs.haskell.org) and nun (code.haskell.org) servers accept ssh on ports other than 22? Thanks, Alistair

I should also have said: I'm open to suggestions and advice on using darcs+cabal+ssh with restrictive firewalls and http proxies. I currently have cntlm (an authenticating proxy server) installed, so I can use cabal (and darcs get will work with this too), but I want to be able to push patches too. Alistair

My recommendation is to get access to an outside machine where you run an OpenVPN server on port 80 or 443. This will solve it "once and for all". But first, please complain loudly and repeatedly about the firewall being closed to port 22. Stefan

Tried and failed. Our firewall will be closed to port 22 for the forseaable future. I'll give the OpenVPN thing a go, if I can find some time. I'm wondering about a couple of things: 1. how many people (in the haskell community) have the same problem? How have they solved or worked around the problem? 2. is it possible to run SSH daemons on monk and nun on ports 80 or 443? I'm wondering both from a technical feasability POV, and also an administrative POV i.e. if it were technically feasible, would the admins be open to the idea, if there was sufficient demand?

Trying to ask how to pierce your company's firewall in a public mailing list, even from your company's email address, may not be advisable. Cristiano

Well, I wasn't necessarily looking for that kind of advice, more along the lines of how to work with what I have (which is ports 80 and 443, via an http proxy server). I have been able to use CVS+SSH with sourceforge in the past, because they had cvs servers that listened for SSH connections on port 443.
