Package: openssh-server Followup-For: Bug #395535
I've tried reproducing this with two versions (p2-3 and p2-5) of the openssh-server package, and the example provided by Greg Morris works fine with both versions. However, the original poster reported this not working (i.e. the connection was allowed instead of denied) with versions p2-2 and p2-5 when 127.0.0.1 was added to hosts.deny. Could this be just a matter of hosts.deny syntax? If I add a line to /etc/deny.hosts containing only the IP address 127.0.0.1 then connections from localhost are allowed through. If I change that line to ALL: 127.0.0.1 or sshd: 127.0.0.1 then ssh is denied the connection, as it should be. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (498, 'testing'), (200, 'stable'), (2, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.77 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.3 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.21 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.38-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.4.3-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8b-2 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii openssh-client 1:4.3p2-3 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime openssh-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
