Dr. Evil Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I would like to make the following changes to the default ssh configuration but am having terrible difficulty! firstly i would like to restrict the ip addresses that can connect to my box for example 123.123.123.* secondly, i would like to restrict the users who can connect. i have tried editing the /etc/ssh_config file and adding: Hosts 123.123.123.* AllowUsers joebloggs then i restart the service. when i try to ssh to localhost i get: /etc/ssh_config: line 40: Bad configuration option: AllowUsers /etc/ssh_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options what's more, the host restriction option has not worked cause i have tried logging in from other ip addresses and can do so! I am using tiger 10.4.8. any help on this much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Evil Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 should have been /etc/sshd_config instead of ssh_config. working fine now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
