I am wishing to grant telnet/ssl access only to certain users, how is this done?

Thanks

Why do you want to use telnet? Ssh is much more secure.

As far as I'm aware, you can restrict the machines that are allowed to use ssh (by IP address, etc), but not users (except root, obviously).

In hosts.allow, try this:

SSH: 192.168.0.1

Or whatever the IP address you want to allow ssh from is.

check /etc/security/access.conf

Made the changes but no difference, is there something I should run?

I have since restarted the network:
/sbin/service network restart
