TCP Wrappers
Authored by: Schamschula on Feb 11, '05 04:53:50PM

I probably should have been a bit more specific.

I meant the hosts_access (5) man page, i.e. man 5 hosts_access. It explains how to set up rules for specific situations. One can set up a rule like

/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL

/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: username@ALL

would restrict access to only the single user in the hosts.allow file. However, the user can log in from any computer in the net.

I work around this issue by using less secure intermediate hosts to log into my secure machines.
