My preference is to set AllowUsers in sshd_config so only the specified users can login via ssh. I restrict root logins to specific origins, e.g. AllowUsers [...] [hidden email] to allow root logins from the rsync backup server. I also disallow password authentication and instead drop an ssh public key into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix GnuPG KeyID: 0xD5C7B5D9 / Email: [hidden email] GnuPG FP: 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
