in addition you can actually limit access to the sshd with the keywords AllowUsers and AllowGroups with the corresponding user/group _names_ (not uid/gid!!!). But there's no option to do this ip-based (this is possible with packetfilters or tcp-wrapper). Do a "netstat -na|grep LISTEN|grep 22" to prove on which IP your ssh-Server is listening. -volker _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
