I am using /etc/hosts.allow. Which is where SSHd should be looking since it is part of the base system and not a port. Thanks. Oops, duh, I'd forgotten about that file (/etc/hosts.allow)! Honestly, thanks for the reminder - now I remember why sendmail isn't working properly (yet I can telnet port 25 of my box and deliver spoofed email). I would recommend you type `host my.domain.com` and use that IP in place of your "0.0.0.0: allow" example. > At 02:43 PM 4/28/2002 -0400, Peter Leftwich wrote: > >On Sun, 28 Apr 2002, Justin Heath wrote: > > > I am trying to set up sshd (OpenSSH) to use hosts.allow .

What is the path to the hosts.allow file in your references? > Justin Heath Best of luck with it. I've heard various versions of ssh(d) support hostnames, and others are strictly IP-based. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
