This is blanket access for root from any host with valid keys (and password)
- I want to limit that access to 4 hosts no matter what keys or passwords
are provided/used. I have looked at shosts.equiv but this doesn't stop
other hosts being allowed.
I have also looked at "AllowUsers root at host1 root at host2 ..." but
this also
means including every user we have for all other servers - of which there
are 300+.
What I would ideally like is "AllowRootUsersFrom host1 host2 host3"
with no
other user/service being affected.
