What you can do is configure PAM on the nodes, to only allow login for a specific set of users, if any. It should come with any modern distro. Be sure your /etc/pam.d/authconfig contains reference to pam_access, like: account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_access.so And configure /etc/security/access.conf to match your needs, like: # Allow administrative login from everywhere +:wheel staff:ALL # Prevent user logins -:users:ALL You can give a look at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=165226&seqNum=12&rl=1 for more info.
