Hi, can anyone help me sort out the security on my potato box? I had no problems like this with slink...
I have sshd running, which I believe is responsible for handling incoming telnet connections. I want to be able to telnet into my machine from certain defined addresses (eg from home). I've added what I thought were the appropriate entries in /etc/hosts.allow: ALL: home.machine.edu work.machine.edu I also tried specifying AllowHosts home.machine.edu work.machine.edu in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I even added sshd: ALL for good measure, as mentioned in the ssh docs. But nothing helps! Whenever I attempt to telnet in from work.machine (not it's real name), I get: Connected to strider [my machine]. Debian GNU/Linux potato strider login: permission denied Terminated No permission! Even though hosts.allow is set explicitly (and I even removed hosts.deny for good measure). Can anyone offer any better suggestions? Downgrade back to slink? Drew
