login.access is only used by login(1), not by sshd.

This is also the reason why time-limited logins and other nice
configurable features are not possible to enforce with ssh. They
are login(1)-specific.

You could enable UseLogin in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
but this is NOT recommended! See sshd_config(5).

If sshd were fully PAMified, you could try to plug in some pam
modules to enforce access policy. You'll have to test your setup
thoroughly. I've tried this with a custom time class PAM module
only to discover that sshd doesn't really interact all that well
with such modules. Beware, and test.
