C2 - PSA Sensitive I am trying to limit the number of total OpenSSH connections to our Unix systems. At first, I have tried modifying OpenSSH configuration with `MaxSessions` and `MaxStartups` options but with no success. They are ignored (maybe I don't really understand what this options are intended to). Using PAM limits in `/etc/security/limits.conf` I have succeed with `maxsyslogins` directive: ``` # limit connections to the system to 10 * - maxsyslogins 10 ``` It works, but we are limiting all kind of logins to the system, and using a third party solution to apply limitations to OpenSSH. By example, we have different kind of Unix (HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, AIX) and in not every server we are using PAM for authentication. I mean, does it exists a simpler and more direct way to do it? Something similar to Apache `MaxClients` directive? I don't find it and it's very strange for me that OpenSSH does not have this possibility :-|. --- José Manuel Ciges Regueiro Unix Systems Administrator & LAMP developer Tel: +34 608 57.05.06 Skype: jmciges Email: jmanuel@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
