For "supposed" security reasons, some of our servers have ssh listening on a
different port.  Has anyone done ssh authenticated backups of servers
listening on a port other than 22?  I haven't seen where you can configure
any ssh related options for these types of backups.   This would be run on
linux and freebsd machines running amanda 2.5.2p1.

I've never done ssh based amanda backups. If it uses the OpenSSH client,
it should read $HOME/.ssh/config. There proably you can put your options
like:

    Host bigiron
        Port 4711

I do use ssh. The solution above is correct and is spelled out here:
