I don't see what is going wrong here. I do that daily with a security

after a reboot it no longer accepts connecitons again.

authorized_services(all)   to the level.local file and that made it work  but

To allow ssh connections in high security level, use the following in
/etc/hosts.allow:

sshd: ALL

I have started a man page for mseclib which describes all the
available functions (try man mseclib).

use such a level.local file in /etc:security/msec:

from mseclib import *

# authorize all services
authorize_services(ALL)

Currently one has to dig in /usr/share/msec.py to find available options. 
Fred, unless your objective is having everyone learning python, a list of all

Thankyou that was the problem. I was pulling my hair out.  Now I just have to 
figure out how to make that stick so that when i go to level 4 the hosts.deny 
file will have what I want in it.   The only problem is i dont konw what 
files to modify.

Re: [Cooker] ssh in msec level 4

Well, the reason for it lies in your /etc/hosts.deny file. ssh uses the tcp 
wrapper and so it uses that file. And I bet that if you look into your file, 
it says deny to all. Not I believe that even if you change the file by hand, 
msec overwrites it priodically. Either change msec by hand, go to a lower 
level, or don't use it.

strange, I have server at msec 4 and can ssh into it without any
problem.

What is in /etc/hosts.{alow,deny}? By default level 4 closes everything
except localhost

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

craps out
