Should be titled, "Why Putting SSH on a Non-Privileged Port is a Bad
Idea."

Nothing there is relevant to SSH on port 234 (just picking something
easy to remember and not in /etc/services) or similar.

[NB: The poor corporate sysadmin who does not want to deal with every
machine running SSH on a different port - another problem mentioned
there - is a non-issue. In a corporate setting, if a non-standard port
is chosen for anything at all, it will be uniform and documented. And
not every Tom, Dick, and Harry will have root access to modify
sshd_config without adult supervision.]

I am not arguing for or against using a non-standard port. Just pointing
out that "non-standard" and "non-privileged" are two different things.
