For host.allow to work for ssh, you need to have tcp wrappers installed on the system. also, the format for the hosts.allow file is
service: host or IP list so in your case, it should read sshd: 192.168.1.100 Also, you need to update your services file to associate sshd with port 22 If you do a search for tcp wrappers on the mailing list you will find a conversation between myself, Corrina, and Mumit Khan (I think). Mumit had provided a patch to tcp_wrappers version 7.6 which will be included in the next revision of tcp wrappers, so I recommend you use his patch.
