 | View Full Version : access through secure shell Atif Munir 05-17-2002, 01:52 AM Hi, how can i restrict my server to be accessed via secure shell from only one ip address? Thanks in advance atif StevenG 05-17-2002, 10:18 AM Create a firewall and deny all access to shell port, except of course your trusted IP address, which would have access to all of your services. Let me know if you need any further help, Regards, billyjoe 05-17-2002, 11:41 AM Use tcp_wrappers with SSH (odds are your server is already doing this). Then properly configure your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files. Basically deny all hosts from SSHD in hosts.deny and allow your single IP address to SSHD in hosts.allow StevenG 05-17-2002, 06:16 PM You have got a firewall right?
