I'm trying to lock down ssh access. I use exim for a mail server so I have a bunch of accounts on my w2k box. I don't want most to be able to use ssh.
So reading the man file for sshd_config I added to the following entry to sshd_config: #wrs 20051231 restrict email only nt accounts from ssh AllowGroups ssh_allow I added a local group using administration / computer management I imported into my /etc/group file: ssh_allow:S-1-5-21-1801674531-688789844-1060284298-1007:1007: Windows shows it as: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net localgroup Aliases for \\BAREFOOT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Administrators *Backup Operators *Guests *Power Users *Replicator *ssh_allow *Test *Users The command completed successfully. Attempting to ssh into my pc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ssh -l administrator 127.0.0.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Commenting out AllowGroups ssh_allow and restarting sshd lets me log in just fine. A clue would be welcome. The install was updated after I ran into these problems at 14:30 Eastern today.
