Hi, I'm not sure if what I'm thinking of is doable with current OpenSSH's, and if yes, how. I want to force our users to use S/Key-Authentication, but only if they do not come from "known hosts". "known hosts" could be hosts that are listed via IP address ("network 192.168.0.0/24") or hosts that are listed in ssh_known_hosts - this doesn't really matter, the important thing is: - known hosts -> password authentication is OK - unknown hosts -> only S/Key authentication is permitted is that possible? gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany gert at greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 gert.doering at physik.tu-muenchen.de
