Thanks for that. Disappointing. Presumably means that every time I take my server laptop to a new WiFi network I will have to alter /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

The software has been brought uptodate to at least May 2017. They are both on my local wifi network and should both be using Zeroconf/Avahi/Bonjour. I have the same username on both machines. I copied /usr/share/doc/avahi-daemon/examples/ssh.service to /etc/avahi/services $ sudo service avahi-daemon restart I installed sshd on "faustino" $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server With the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config I can succesfully ssh to faustino thus $ ssh -v localhost /* from faustino */ $ ssh -v faustino.local /* from faustino */ $ ssh -v faustino.local /* from the other computer */ I modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config) to add LogLevel VERBOSE PermitRootLogin no AllowUsers *@*.local $ sudo systemctl restart ssh Now I get, for example $ ssh faustino.local username@faustino.local's password: Permission denied, please try again. That fails from the same machine, from another machine and if I try ssh localhost. All those worked before I put those directives in. I expected all attempts to ssh from .local addresses to work and all others to fail.
