Hello, I'd like to use only PAM(for requiring additional restrictions) for OpenSSH authentications and I'd like to have: *key authentications *s/key like authentications but more secure(because I was told that the randomness of the s/key passwords is not secure nowadays) (and additional things such as anti-brute-force system for PAM and logins restrictions based on the time/date) but I haven't been successful so far... I first wanted to forbid others account than the ones listed in /etc/ssh/sshd.allow: I've done the following in /etc/ssh/sshd_config I've used PAM: UsePAM yes normal passwords were disabled,key enabled and s/key disabled and I added: auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow
[...]
but it didn't work...account not listed in the file could still login via SSH
... using public-key authentication:
debug1: matching key found: file /home/xxx/.ssh/authorized_keys, line 1
SSH's public-key authentication does not use the PAM auth stack (it can't) but it does use the account stack for all auth types. Add your pam_listfile to the account stack and it should do what you want.
