Hello Guido !
I just have installed SuSEfirewall2 from SuSE 7.3. For logging in from a foreign host I've opened the port 22 for connections via ssh. At the moment I can log in via SSH from all hosts. In which file can I define that login is only allowed from one single host?
The file you are looking for is /etc/hosts.allow You should put a line like this in: sshd: your.ip.goes.here hostname.domain And a line in /etc/hosts.deny: sshd: ALL This prevents the SSH daemon to connect with other hosts. I have not used SuSEfirewall yet so I can't tell you how you can do it with the firewall. I think you should study the comments in the firewall configuration file rc.firewall.config (or something like this).
