Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me on how to achieve the following. 1. I use tcp wrapper with SSH (/etc/hosts.allow & hosts.deny). I have policy for our server that only access from my domain (.utk.edu domain) is allowed. But we also have several exceptions for people who is outside this domain, so I add that domain to /etc/hosts.allow. What I really want though, is If I can restrict that only certain username can SSH to the server from this remote domain. So for example, if I add .comcast.net domain to /etc/hosts.allow, I want to restrict it further to: "only username 'the-boss' can SSH to this machine from comcast.net". Is there any way to do that at all ? 2. Public-key login: I want to disable public-key login, and I know how to do that. However, there are certain cases where we want to allow public-key login, eg. for automated backup, running parallel jobs in beowulf cluster. So I am wondering if there's a way to disable public-key login in general, but allow public-key login from a very restrictive set of IP, eg: disable public-key login, except from IP 10.0.0.0/250 (local network) Any help on how to do any of those would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. RDB -- Reuben D.
