Re: [suse-security] Two questions about hosts.allow and sshd

Simply put both ip/domain entries in your /etc/hosts and ensure that search order in /etc/nsswitch.conf is set to "hosts: files dns"

sshd: ALL: twist /bin/echo "Shoo!"

I think you dont want to do that. It'll revoke ssh session. Mayby it is overlayed by an entry in hosts.allow?! Try man sshd and search for /etc/motd to send user a message on login. Check too: man sshd_config (search usedns) Hope that helps The polarizers 2cent http://www.codixx.de/polarizer.html
