This is not an SSH support list. SSH uses OpenSSL libraries, but
that's the extent of it.
My conjecture (and this is only my conjecture): you may be running TCP
wrappers, or you may have host-based access blocking disabled. In any
case, it's at least used for logging purposes (since names are ea
Hello
When sshd has received the username of a linux user from a SSH client, it
