Hi! I want to make ssh-access possible only from a restricted number of hosts - those that are named in /etc/hosts.allow. Users who want to login have a DynDNS host-name that shall be listed in hosts.allow to make it possible for users with a dial-up internet connection, too.
BUT: The problem is that I can only login to the ssh-machine when I enter the IP-address to the hosts.allow file. Specifying the hosts DNS-name does not work! AND: I'd prefer to specify the rules for loggin into the machine in the sshd_config-file, not in hosts.allow/deny. But the AllowHosts/DenyHosts-options that could be used in /etc/sshd_config earlier seem to be not any longer available at the SSH-version I'm using. It's: openssh-3.4p1-80 on a SuSE 8.1 Has anybody ideas in this 2 problems? thx in advance, Klaus -- Klaus Siegesleitner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] SysAdmin at CAME (Center of Applied Molecular Engineering) University of Salzburg, Jakob-Haringerstrasse 5, A-5020 Salzburg
