<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My RHEL server has both internal and external Ethernet connections. We are trying to limit outside SSH access to specific users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So, in access.conf, can I add:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">+ : johndoe boba sams : ALL # To allow specific users from any IP<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">+ : ALL : 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 # To allow all users from local network<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- : ALL : ALL except LOCAL # Deny everyone else except (on the console?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If I try this, is there a chance that I won’t even be able to login as root on the console?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Should it accomplish my goal? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Would it affect other areas such as email, cron-tasks, etc?<o:p></o:p></p>
