what about using the "AllowUser u...@host" option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?

If you use ssh keys or kerberos ticket forwarding, then I think that PAM
is bypassed entirely depending on your sshd config. check the "UsePAM"
sshd option.


Thanks, Jason. You are right. Currently I have to use ssh keys for root in order to be able to test the pam.d/sshd in case I do something wrong and lose access to the server.

I also tried AllowUsers in sshd_config. I can limit u...@host2, u...@host3 but how do I specify other people have no limit ?

When I have
AllowUsers u...@host2 u...@host3
then I can limit u2 and u3 to login only from u2 and i3, correspondingly but no other users can login.


When I have
AllowUsers u...@host2 u...@host3 *
then u2 and u3 can login just fine from anywhere.

What about an "AllowUsers user" line for each normal user and the "AllowUsers u...@host" lines for the two restricted users?


That's absolutely possible, but I am looking for a way that I only have to update the config file when there is an "unusual user", such as "u4 only from host4". Otherwise I have to update the config file whenever the system has a new normal user, who can log in from anywhere.

I have about 100 "usual" users in the system so I feel lazy to add all of them into that AllowUsers :)

Anyway, thanks for telling me about AllowUsers.
