next in thread | previous in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
you can specify what users OR groups can login using ssh by editing the
following file.
/etc/ssh/sshd.config

at the bottom of the file ..add something like
AllowGroups groupname  <------this will only allow users from  whatever
group you want to login
AllowUsers username   <-------this will allow whatever user you want to
login.

for example i have

AllowGroups wheel    <----this only allows users from the wheel group to
login   ( only me )

hope this helps ya
