Or you could use pam_listfile or pam_wheel in the PAM control file for
ssh to restrict ssh logins. For example, on one of my servers, I have
this line in /etc/pam.d/ssh:

auth       required     pam_listfile.so sense=allow onerr=fail item=user file=/etc/loginusers

which keeps anyone not listed in /etc/loginusers from logging in.
