Hi Daniel
Thank you! If I read the manpage correctly, invoking AllowUsers
automatically changes the default behaviour and restricts access to only
those users specificied. That fits my needs exactly. (or at least my
current perceived needs :--))
Cheers, Graham/

Does this mean that there is a way to run ssh, but only allow
certain users to use it. My default seems to have been that if
someone has a username and password they can access ssh (except root
as "PermitRootLogin no" is the default). The ssh port seems to be
the most heavily attacked one on my machine and so I recently took
to blocking port 22. My preference would be to enable it to only
one user and give them an obscure username and strong password.
Root is not currently allowed access by default in the setup.
check the AllowUsers and AllowGroups directive in sshd_config(5)
