Hello Derek, I don't use hosts.allow. I use the AllowUsers directive in the sshd.conf file to limit the actual username/ip combinations. As a rule, I also close port 22 on the router. When I need external access (e.g. when I am travelling) I will open some other port and have sshd "Listen" on that port as well. At that time, I will add an obscure username to AllowUsers with any ip address. Of course, I use the custom port to login.
Prior to implementing this setup, I used to get frequent daily login attempts. Now I don't get any. Thanks for your feedback. Abid On 12-Sep-07 9:33 AM, Derek Ragona wrote:
How are you limiting this ssh access? Are you using hosts.allow? If you are not using hosts.allow, I would suggest you do so.-Derek
