I totally agree on the ssh documentation, it's awful for the most
part.. I've used it for years and am not sure how to do what I talked
about before.  And I HAVE read the man pages many times.

Oh and to compile ssh 2.1 with TCP_WRAPPER support do this:

./configure --with-libwrap

And you can add in /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny

sshd2: whatever.ip
sshd2fwd-X11: whatever.ip

of course replacing "whatever.ip" with the IP you want to allow/deny
