Hosts.deny entry
Hello I want to block individuals who attempt to use ssh to loggon to one of my machines from a certain IP address. I added the following entry in hosts.deny. Will the entry do what I want to do?


ssh: 202.111.128.225

Would be better to allow logins from certain ip address rather than block ip addresses. Also look at:

man hosts.allow

hosts, hosts.allow, and hosts.deny are for the berkely r commands. You should update your sshd.conf if you want to alter SSH login attempts.
