Hello ILUG,
On my linux box I wish to restrict the hosts from which I can logon. So I edited
/etc/login.access and added the following line:
-:pbrady:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL 134.226. 127.0.0.
I then opened a ssh session from a host not in the above IP ranges and connected to the
linux box without any problems.. much to my disappointment. Anyone have any ideas as to
why the /etc/login.access file is being ignored?
Thanks,
Patrick
