Changing SSH default port from 22 to 8080

Question

Hi all,
I have deployed SSH on my home solaris 10 x86 machine and it was working fine through the default port 23.
But the problem is that i can't connect to it from work as the firewall blocks outgoing SSH traffic. So i want to change the default port from 23 to 8080.
i changed the value of Port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Then i ran the command
/usr/lib/ssh/sshd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config
because as far as i know from the man pages it will cause the daemon to reread the configuration file thus the new value for port but still it didnt' work.
Also i tried the command
/usr/lib/ssh/sshd -p 8080
but didn't work also
I tried to restart the ssh daemon after both commands but still the same result.
Would anyone please help me with this issue as i still don't have much experience in solaris.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, So i installed lsof, but
When i ran that command i got this output
bash-3.00# lsof -M | grep 8080
sshd 1085 root 3u IPv6 0xd43e21c0 0t0 TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)
it seems that sshd is occupying port 8080 but still ican't login from a remote machine.
When i try it asks me to enter the username and then displays a messaing "Using keyboard-interactive authentication" then asks for password, When i enter the password it gives me "Access denied" although iam sure this is the right password.
When i try to connect to port 22 things go fine and i can login with the same user "root" with no problems (i know accessing remotely using root is not secure but that is not the problem for the moment)
So i did that
ps -ef | grep ssh
root 1085 1 0 19:05:07 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
root 1093 1 1 19:05:51 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
Note that the PID for the process grabbing the port is the same for /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
so is that the ssh daemon or is it /usr/local/sbin/sshd ????
Please advise. Note that iam not experienced in solaris so please take it easy with me.
Thanks
