Why not? Don't you effectively ban huge ranges of IP addresses, and therefore countries, every time you restrict access to a host? Imagine I'm going travelling, and I know I'm only going to South America, so I want to open up my ssh daemon to more addresses. However I don't want to permit the entire Internet to have a go at the daemon, but I'm willing to open it up to South America to increase the risk slightly in return for permitting myself SSH access wherever I am. I must admit I'm a little worried that everyone is thinking that this will be used to prevent access by certain countries for nefarious / racist reasons when there are so many useful applications. -- mors omnia vincit
