Summary: How do I only allow root to ssh to a machine?

2007-12-24 22:58:00

Hi,

thanks to all the responded, especially to Fabrice Guerini
<fabrice at bluemartini.fr> and <sysadmin at astro.su.se> who both suggested
to put the following entries in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config

AllowUsers root
PermitRootLogin yes

and then do "kill -HUP <pid of sshd>". This did the trick.

Regards,

Andreas

Original message:

I have to remotely administer a machine that is connected to the
internet. I configured the firewall to only let in ssh. I can login to
this machine from my office and do my stuff. However, I would like to
prevent other users with normal user accounts to login remotely (they of
course do not know the root password). Is this possible?
