Hi,

How can I configure ssh to only listen to eth1?

Thanks.

Hi,

Open sshd_config, look for ListenAddress and use the IP address of eth1.

Cheers

You can bind SSH to specificed IP by using ListenAddress option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Nice. I guess that will do.

But I can't make it listen to an interface right, only IP address?

Hi,

An interface (like eth1) has an IP address assigned to it. Since ListenAddress accepts as argument only IP adresses (and/or port number), this is the only way to bind sshd to an interface.
