Just curious, have you tried /etc/hosts.allow ALL: x.x.x.x Im just not sure about the syntax for the hosts.allow with sshd, might be worth a shot to see if that allows the ip to pass. -----Original Message----- From: security-discuss-bounce@linuxsecurity.com [mailto:security-discuss-bounce@linuxsecurity.com]On Behalf Of Martin Östlund Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 6:28 PM To: security-discuss@linuxsecurity.com Subject: Hi. Hi listpeople. I have a small problem. Im trying to get OpenSSHD 3.5p1 to work properly through tcpwrappers. I have of course compiled it with the --with-tcp-wrappers option, and setup the /etc/hosts.deny and hosts.allow files, restarted sshd, but it blocks everything instead of allowing what is insde hosts.allow, in the format of: sshd:x.x.x.x My messages says: tcpd[26303]: connect from unknown when I try to connect to port 22, it seems like it's not getting the address/ip im connecting from.. I've tried this from a few different machines, same thing.
