potato security ;(
Hi,
can anyone help me sort out the security on my potato box? I had no
problems like this with slink...
I have sshd running, which I believe is responsible for handling incoming
telnet connections. I want to be able to telnet into my machine from
certain defined addresses (eg from home).
I've added what I thought were the appropriate entries in /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: home.machine.edu work.machine.edu
I also tried specifying
AllowHosts home.machine.edu work.machine.edu
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
I even added
sshd: ALL
for good measure, as mentioned in the ssh docs.
But nothing helps! Whenever I attempt to telnet in from work.machine (not
it's real name), I get:
Connected to strider [my machine].
Debian GNU/Linux potato strider
login: permission denied
Terminated
No permission! Even though hosts.allow is set explicitly (and I even
removed hosts.deny for good measure).
Can anyone offer any better suggestions? Downgrade back to slink?
Drew
