There is a PID for sshd

Telnet is specifically turned off on this machine

SSHD is set up to run port 26 on this machine - we have a sat gateway
(linux - Red Hat) which requires port 22.  The sat gateway is the firewal
but I am running inside the "wall".  Ran the above command and NOTHING is
listening on port 26 although sshd is shown running.  I've gotta rush now
but will be back in the office some time later tonight - I will insert the
output of the above and repost then.

Output of above command

Maybe - this seems to be the only explanation although the config file seems
to be OK
