similar to: AllowUsers

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

Hi, I've just been adding a few extra hosts to my sshd_config's AllowUsers, and it's got a bit unwieldy. As far as I can tell from the sshd_config(5) and ssh_config(5) man pages, the *only* way to specify multiple AllowUsers patterns is on a single line, separated by spaces. With more than 6 or 7 patterns it starts wrapping on to multiple lines and gets hard to read, especially

Hi there, I have just compiled openssh-5.0 on Solaris 10, and am trying to set up a certain pattern of user access control. Essentially, regular users should be able to login from any network, while root should be able to login only from a private network 192.168.88.0/22. Actually, for the purpose of sshd_config, this is four networks, but that's another story... Here is what I tried:

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".

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

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

Hi list! I have some machines running openssh 3.9p1. AllowUsers is set to my users, that are allowed to login. If I set PermitRoot without-password, but do not include root in AllowUsers, root is not able to login with pubkey. I do not want to set root in AllowUsers, since the without-password option should check this allready, I think... So I made a small patch that allows me to login as root

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

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

Hi, I hope this is the right place for a feature request. I'd like to have more flexible AllowUsers/DenyUsers synax. I am in a situation, where I have machines connected to three networks (a private, high speed, a public, and a private vpn) and I'd like to enable root logins only on the private networks. Currently I see no way of doing this, because there is no way to specify a

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

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

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

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 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, I have attached a small patch that enables OpenSSH 4.7p1 to use netgroups for users and hosts entries in the AllowUsers and DenyUsers configuration options in sshd_config. This has the following advantages: * hostnames or ip addresses don't have to be maintained in sshd_config, but you can use meaningful names for groups of users and groups of hosts. * large scale installations can

Hello, I sent this last week before signing up for the list, but haven't seen it in the archives, so I'm guessing it got discarded either as spam or HTML (sorry about that). In any case, the following was sent to comp.security.ssh early last week and I have gotten no response there. Can anyone here shed some light? Thanks, Eric ------------------------------------------ Hello,
