#1 Re: Securing SSH Posted by daemon (146.231.xx.xx) on Fri 2 May 2008 at 21:05 Just one comment, or question I guess. Why not use AllowGroups instead of AllowUsers, then you just have to make sure that any users that should have ssh access are members of, say, an "sshusers" group? That's the way I do it, and it works nicely for me, and means it's much easier when new users come along -- you just add them to the group, without having to remember to edit any config files. Cheers. :wq
