similar to: AllowUsers Change

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

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

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

OpenSSH 3.0 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. This release contains many portability bug-fixes (listed in the ChangeLog) as well as several new features (listed below). We would like to thank the

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

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

Could everyone please test the latest snapshots as we will be making a new release soon. If you have any patches you would like us to consider, please resend them to the list ASAP. -d -- | Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> \ ``E-mail attachments are the poor man's | http://www.mindrot.org / distributed filesystem'' - Dan Geer

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

Hey, After discussing the limit of MAX_ALLOW_USERS I've been trying to use AllowGroups instead. In the config file I have the AllowUsers lines before the AllowGroups lines (I have tried both ways) and it appears that the presence on the AllowGroups directives seems to blow away any Allow* directives I have set. I'm not sure how to check further for bugs so I figured I'd contact

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

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

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

Hi. Whenever I notice a typo someplace, I fix it in a local "typo tree". Attached is 2 patches from that tree, one against OpenBSD and the other against Portable. Is it worth fixing these? -Daz. -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience

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

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

It seems the syntax for AllowUsers in sshd_config is not the same that is given in man sshd_config and in several documentation on the web. (http://www.openssh.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config) e.g. AllowUsers root does work. AllowUsers root username does not work. If I try to login as root I get "User root from <hostname> not allowed because not listed in AllowUsers".

I have a number of development machines behind my OpenBSD firewall which all provide a very permissive development account (and easy sudo). I don't want this account exposed on the internet side of the firewall, so I created a doorstep account with no perms and really long passwords to get anywhere useful. I looked through the SSH book and it gave me the impression that I could set up these

Hello, I've trawled archives looking for changes in the "AllowUsers" option, manuals, changes log, reported bugs and to my surprise I can't find anything or anyone that has reported the issues that I am experiencing. I am using the default installation sshd_config file as supplied by Redhat and the only options I have changed are: ListenAddress AllowUsers The first problem

Hi all, let me describe my environment and problem. System is RHEL 5.6 with latest stable OpenSSH. In sshd_config is defined "AllowGroups sshusers" but I need limitation to some of users in group to have access only from defined IP address. As I know this can be setup in sshd_config only for AllowUsers, but users in group are changed so I must use allowgroups instead of allowusers.
