Thanks for reply but this doesn't work. I have read the manual but the problem I think is the wildcard.
Your example:
AllowUsers *.IP.Fire.wall.X CertainUserName.*
My way: AllowUsers *@IP.Fire.wall.X CertainUserName@*
--> in both cases only the user 'CertainUserName' will have access from all hosts; NO other user has access
The entry '*.IP.Fire.wall.X' doesn't work ! My entry with '@' doesn't work, too. I have tried to put the commands into two lines but it is the same problem.
OK - i checked it. And it works. I'd used a 2.9.x sshd with follwing line
AllowUsers *@192.168.1.1 test@*
And all users comes from 192.168.1.1 were ok. From all other hosts only test-user came in.
Check out your spelling (correct ip 2) and version. See /var/log/messages and increase debug mode of sshd with -d option (man sshd) to learn more.
If probs goes on mail me - else want to know what was the prob.

Thanks for your tip to check the IP version! That's the problem. There are some hosts configured with IPv6 and that doesn't work. ... and I have no experience with IPv6 ... I changed the settings to: AllowUsers *@::ffff:my.ip.v4.host test@* Now it works fine. Thanks for help. Regards Ruediger
