FW: restricted users

Jamie,

On my RedHat 7.3, there is no manual entry for sshd_config. But I try AllowUsers and DenyUsers. It works good.

The question now is that I have to deny more than 200 users and allow 10 users. I can't put so many users names on deny lists in sshd_config. I try to deny everyone then allow someone. But I don't know how to deny all. I try the followings, no one can deny all:

DenyUsers all                  => not works
DenyUsers ALL                  => not works
DenyUsers everyone             => not works 


DenyUsers user1                 => works!

Do you know how to use DenyUsers to deny everyone?

Thanks,
Hong

Now I

There are the keywords AllowUsers, DenyUsers or maybe AllowGroups, DenyGroups would be easier - would they be any help? ( man sshd_config gives details on my system )

Do you need help?
