I am running RH 7.2. I wanted to only some IP addresses to SSH to my machine. I have included this IP in my hosts.allow. I thought it was clever idea but it did not work. Because I can still use SSH using a different IP aside from the once listed. I also found one in my Google search which says
hosts.deny entry.
sshd:ALL EXCEPT 192.168. 66.167.150. 66.167.151.


I also read that in my google search that TCPWRAPPERS worked with inetd. I am using xinetd. So my question what should I do in order for me to let the server only accept ssh for certain IPs. My sample hosts.allow are below. That external IPs on my sample are not true. Thanks a lot for the help.

# THIS IS MY HOSTS.DENY # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # sshd: 192.168. 66.167.150. 66.167.151. : ALLOW

# THIS IS MY HOSTS.DENY
# hosts.deny    This file describes the names of the hosts which are
#               *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
#               by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow.  In particular
# you should know that NFS uses portmap!
sshd:ALL
