[TriLUG] Questions on SSH

[Roy Vestal]

I have a security question. I have a linux box that I only want certain folks to get to. Yes, ssh is installed.  My question is on the hosts.allow, hosts.deny files.

I've been trying to figure out the setup. What I want to do is set ALL:ALL in hosts.deny and only allow certain machines to connect with the ability to do "all".

Here's what I have in hosts.allow so far:

ALL: machine1.domain.org, machine2.domain.org

Do I need the full resolved name?  Is this the best way of setting this up?
