similar to: Possible Allow* bug?

A short while ago, I looked at using the AllowUsers configuration option in openssh (v3.8p1 , but I believe this to be unchanged in 3.9p1) to restrict access such that only specific remote machines could access specific local accounts. I swiftly discovered that a) specifying wildcarded IP numbers to try to allow a useful IP range was pointless: if I specified AllowUsers joe at

I added a few features to openssh for my local use that I think would be more broadly useful. I basically added access control lists to control who would be allowed public key authentication. I added four config file entries for the server: PubkeyAllowUsers PubkeyDenyUsers PubkeyAllowGroups PubkeyDenyGroups These follow the same sematics as the already existing entries for

Markus, ignore the other stuff I sent.. I need to go back to bed and stop trying to code.. <sigh> For everone else.. Will this make everyone happy? This does the follow. it will always honor AllowUsers. If there is no Allow/DenyGroups it stated they are not in allowUsers. IF there are AllowDenyGroups it tries them. And then stated they are not in either AllowUsers nor AllowGroups

The following is a patch I've been working on to support a "ChrootUser" option in the sshd_config file. I was looking for a way to offer sftp access and at the same time restict interactive shell access. This patch is a necessary first step (IMO). It applies clean with 'patch -l'. Also attached is a shell script that helps to build a chrooted home dir on a RedHat 7.2

The primary purpose of the attached patches is for portable OpenSSH to support changing expired passwords as specified in shadow password files. To support that, I did a couple enhancements to the base OpenBSD OpenSSH code. They are: 1. Consolidated the handling of "forced_command" into a do_exec() function in session.c. These were being handled inconsistently and allocated

Hi, I ran across a case in which my server maintenance was simplified by using SSHD configuration options like this in sshd_config: AllowGroups admin at 192.168.0.* sshuser in much the same fashion as (Allow|Deny)Users. In this case, the goal is to provide access to administrators only from the local network, while allowing SSH users to login from anywhere. This (IMHO) simplifies access

I just downloaded newest snapshot and noticed that problem is still present. I am not sure why I didn't get any reply about my previous message, probably it wasn't too clear so I try now again. And I noticed one problem with previous patch so here is fixed and far more tested version of patch. So problem is hopefully best described by this way... When admin wants to allow invidual user

Hello, whereas most people take passwd/shadow/ldap/<whatever> as the place where decision on a chrooted environment / sandbox for certain users is met (just set the given usershell appropriateley), I needed a somewhat different approach. Below is a tiny patch to 2.2.0p1 which enhances the sshd-config by two options and, when set, places all users / users of a certain group immediately in

I do not know have you have already fixed problem when both AllowUsers and AllowGroups have been defined. Source package was: openssh-2.1.1-p1 (rpm version) Problem is described in this example: AllowGroups admins ssh AllowUsers testuser testusers primary group is users User cannot login because his primary group wasn't admins or ssh... I have included patch for this in this message. Hope

Hello! We have the server with RHEL 5.5 (64-bit) and need to connect many parallel users over ssh (OpenSSH). Usually we use openssh-4.4p1, builded from the sources with changed "servconf.h" file by this type: ???#define MAX_ALLOW_USERS ????????10000 ????/* Max # users on allow list. */ ???#define MAX_DENY_USERS ???????????10000 ????/* Max # users on deny list. */ ???#define

It appears that openssh has inherited the dos attack that ssh is susceptible to. This has been discussed on Bugtraq (see http://securityportal.com/list-archive/bugtraq/1999/Sep/0124.html for the thread). There does not appear to be an official for ssh. Attached below is a simple, proof of concept, patch that adds a MaxConnections to sshd_config that sets the maximum number of simultaneous

We recently switched to OpenSSH from ssh 1.2.x and I quickly noticed that /etc/environment processing has gone AWOL. This patch adds a new sshd_config variable: SysEnvFile Specifies a file containing the system-wide default environment in ``VARNAME=value'' format (default is none.) The contents of a user's $HOME/.ssh/environment file, if

This is a port of a patch I contributed to ssh 1.2.23 in May 1998. I have missed the functionality after moving to OpenSSH so I have updated the patch and hope OpenSSH might accept it. The patch allows sshd_config to have lines like: AllowUsers root at localhost AllowUsers tridge@* AllowUsers guest at 192.168.2.* DenyUsers badguy@* etc. I found this useful for restricting users to only login

What I was trying to do: I wanted to use the AllowGroups facility to allow users in by group instead of listing individual usernames but also allow root only from a single central host. Setup actions: targetusername on target host has a secondary group entry of "staff". Updated sshd_config to add the lines: AllowUsers root at nimsrvr AllowGroups staff targertusername is NOT

I smacked into this previously reported bug today whereby an invalid keyword in the Match{} stanza did not throw an error on configuration reload. Are there any plans to fix this? Likewise the penchant for some fields to be comma separated and others to be spaces is just asking for mistakes. Why not support both and be done with it? There was no response (that I saw in the archives) to this post

While testing some AllowUsers and AllowGroups combinations I was surprised to find that one cannot be used to override the other. For example: AllowGroups administrators AllowUsers john If john is *not* part of the administrators group, then access is being denied. Is this the expected behaviour? This would force me to create another group just for ssh, something like ssh-admins. This other

Hey everyone, After discussing the AllowGroups I think I've discovered a bug. The system is a solaris 8 system and the problem is that when I use AllowGroups with no AllowUsers args, the proper actions happen. Same with AllowUsers and no AllowGroups. When I try to combine the two, none of the Allow directives seem to take. Is it just me or maybe a bug? -James
